- 内容摘要
- 特朗普并未排除拆除这座演艺综合体的可能性
- 在罢免托管人后，他任命政府官员进入中心董事会
- 特朗普援引一段天花板坍塌的视频，称该建筑正在老化破损
华盛顿9月18日路透电 — 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周五拒绝就是否会尝试拆除位于华盛顿波托马克河畔的标志性建筑约翰·F·肯尼迪表演艺术中心一事作出明确表态。
特朗普在椭圆形办公室发表讲话时，再次声称该中心应该在建筑名称中加上他的名字，以换取他为翻新该设施筹集资金所做的工作。他 falsely 声称该中心面临长期财务压力，需要采取激进行动，但根据该中心的税务申报文件，其在过去九年中有七年实现了盈利。

“我认为特朗普政府应该因拯救了肯尼迪中心而得到认可，因为没人记得这回事了，”特朗普说道。
肯尼迪中心董事会称该设施需要2.57亿美元的翻新工程，本周早些时候投票决定关闭该中心两年以推进该项目。美国地区法官克里斯托弗·库珀随后下令特朗普政府解释此次关闭是否违反了限制其关停能力的法院命令。
库珀还下令政府在采取拆除该建筑的步骤前提前30天发出通知。
“特朗普总统正将肯尼迪中心扣为人质，”代表美国众议员乔伊斯·比蒂的律师诺姆·艾森和纳撒尼尔·泽林斯基说道。俄亥俄州民主党众议员比蒂是该中心董事会的当然成员，正就政府对该设施的计划提起诉讼。

该中心的代表周五未立即回应置评请求。
由特朗普担任主席、由其任命人员掌控的董事会今年早些时候曾试图将该设施更名为“特朗普-肯尼迪中心”，甚至还在建筑上添加了总统的名字。在库珀裁定只有国会有权更改该中心的名称后，董事会在建筑正面安装了一块防水布，随着法律诉讼的持续，这块防水布仍留在原处。
特朗普周五告诉记者，在建筑名称中加上他的名字是“两党合作”的体现，因为特朗普是共和党人，而1963年遇刺的肯尼迪是民主党人。
他称库珀“带有敌意”，并将这座拥有音乐厅、歌剧院、剧场以及12个额外表演和会议空间的中心称为“垃圾场”。

- After ousting trustees, he installed administration officials on the board
- Trump cited a ceiling collapse video as proof the building is deteriorating
WASHINGTON, Sept 18 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday refused to say whether he would attempt to demolish the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the iconic facility on Washington’s Potomac River.
Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump repeated his belief that the center should append his name to the building in exchange for his work to raise money to renovate the facility. He falsely claimed the center faced long-term financial strains that required dramatic action, although the facility posted profits in seven of the past nine years, according to its tax filings.

“I think the Trump administration should be recognized as having saved the Kennedy Center because nobody else remembers,” Trump said.
The Kennedy Center board, which has said the facility requires a $257 million renovation, earlier this week voted to close the facility for two years for the project. US District Judge Christopher Cooper subsequently ordered the Trump administration to explain whether the closure violates a court order limiting its ability to shut down.
Cooper also ordered the administration to provide 30 days’ notice before taking steps to demolish the building.
“President Trump is holding the Kennedy Center hostage,” said Norm Eisen and Nathaniel Zelinsky, attorneys representing U.S. Representative Joyce Beatty, an Ohio Democrat and ex-officio member of the center’s board who is leading litigation against the administration over its plans for the facility.

Representatives for the center did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday.
The board, chaired by Trump and controlled by his appointees, earlier this year attempted to rename the facility the “Trump-Kennedy Center” and went so far as to add the president’s name to the building. After Cooper ruled that only Congress could rename the center, the board installed a tarp over the front facade of the building that has remained there as the legal fight continues.
Trump told reporters on Friday that adding his name to the building would be a show of “bipartisanship,” because Trump is a Republican and Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1963, was a Democrat.
He called Cooper “hostile,” and described the center — which features a concert hall, opera house, theater and 12 additional performance and meeting spaces — as a “dump.”
