据一名在肯尼迪中心董事会任职的众议院民主党议员透露,该中心董事会周四投票决定将特朗普总统的名字重新加回这座演艺中心的外墙上,而这距离一名法官下令移除其名字仅过去两个多月。
由特朗普先生任命亲信组成的董事会选择在该中心正式名称“约翰·F·肯尼迪表演艺术中心”末尾加上“由唐纳德·J·特朗普总统修复翻新”字样,来自俄亥俄州的民主党众议员乔伊斯·比蒂及其律师在一份声明中表示。比蒂称,董事会同时投票决定将该中心关闭两年。
此次投票是第二次尝试将总统名字加在建筑外墙。今年5月,美国地区法官克里斯托弗·库珀曾裁定,此前同时以肯尼迪和特朗普命名该中心的决定违反了设立该机构的联邦法律。库珀同时叫停了该中心计划在2028年前关闭以进行翻新的方案,尽管这家文化机构曾表示仍在考虑部分或全面关闭。
库珀的这项裁决是针对比蒂提起的诉讼作出的。这位女议员周四称最新的这一举措“是为规避法院裁决的明显企图,公然违背了国会通过的法令”。
“今天的投票不过是故技重施,公然无视法庭尊严,”比蒂的两名律师诺姆·艾森和纳撒尼尔·泽林斯基在声明中写道。“此前董事会屈服于特朗普的要求,已经在法庭上败诉。如今,被告必须再次为他们的行为在法庭上作出解释。”
白宫发言人莉兹·赫斯顿表示:“在特朗普总统的果敢领导下,肯尼迪中心正朝着成为全球顶尖文化机构的方向迈进。”

Kennedy Center board votes to put Trump’s name back on outside of building, House Democrat says
2026-08-13 3:44 PM EDT / CBS News
The Kennedy Center’s board of trustees voted Thursday to add President Trump’s name to the facade of the performing arts center, more than two months after a judge ordered its removal, according to a House Democrat who sits on the center’s board.
The board — which Mr. Trump filled with his allies — chose to add the phrase “Restored and Renovated By President Donald J. Trump” to the end of the center’s formal name, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Democratic Rep. Joyce Beatty of Ohio and her lawyers said in a statement. Beatty said the board also voted to close the center for two years.
The vote marks a second attempt to put the president’s name on the outside of the building, after U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled in May that a decision to rename the center after both Kennedy and Mr. Trump violated the federal law that created the organization. Cooper also blocked the center from moving forward with a plan to close until 2028 for renovations, though the cultural institution had said it was still considering a partial or full closure.
Cooper issued his order in response to a lawsuit from Beatty. On Thursday, the congresswoman called the latest move “a transparent effort to circumvent the Court’s ruling, and flies in the face of the statutes that Congress passed.”
“Today’s vote is more of the same, and a show of blatant disrespect to the courts,” two of Beatty’s attorneys, Norm Eisen and Nathaniel Zelinsky, wrote in the statement. “The court already ruled against the board when it bowed to Trump’s demands. Now, the defendants must answer for their actions—again—in court.”
White House spokesperson Liz Huston said: “Under President Trump’s bold leadership, the Kennedy Center is on its way to becoming the finest cultural institution anywhere in the world.”
