8月13日(路透社)——据美国民主党众议员乔伊斯·比蒂透露,肯尼迪艺术中心董事会于周四投票决定在建筑外墙添加镌刻有总统唐纳德·特朗普姓名的铭文。此举可能会与此前下令移除特朗普姓名的联邦法官产生冲突。
肯尼迪艺术中心董事会当然成员比蒂表示:“董事会今日在会议上投票决定,将建筑正立面的文字修改为‘约翰·F·肯尼迪表演艺术中心 由唐纳德·J·特朗普总统修复翻新’,并将该场地正式更名为‘唐纳德·J·特朗普总统广场’。”

另一位知情消息人士证实了这一决定。
《纽约时报》周四早些时候援引一份决议报道称,“该中心希望通过一切合法手段,认可并表彰特朗普总统对艺术中心存续所做出的关键性且前所未有的贡献”。
据比蒂透露,由特朗普忠实支持者主导的董事会同时投票决定将肯尼迪艺术中心关停两年。比蒂曾就她所称的非法更名计划与拟议关停事宜起诉特朗普政府与该中心。
特朗普政府于去年12月将特朗普姓名添加至肯尼迪艺术中心的外墙。但今年5月,一名法官下令移除特朗普姓名,裁决称这一标志性华盛顿场馆若要更名必须经由国会法案批准。
上月,联邦上诉法院驳回了特朗普政府在寻求恢复特朗普姓名标识期间保留其在外墙上的诉求。工作人员已于6月将肯尼迪艺术中心外墙上的特朗普姓名移除。
特朗普政府曾辩称,移除特朗普姓名会损害筹款工作并加剧艺术中心的财政困境。上诉法院表示,这些主张缺乏具体事实或证据支持。

Aug 13 (Reuters) – The board of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts voted on Thursday to add an inscription bearing President Donald Trump’s name to the building’s exterior, according to Democratic U.S. Representative Joyce Beatty, a move that could set up a clash with a federal judge who previously ordered his name removed from the facade.
“In its meeting today, the board voted to change the front of the building’s facade to read ‘The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Restored and Renovated By President Donald J. Trump,’ and renamed the physical site ‘the President Donald J. Trump Plaza,’” said Beatty, an ex officio member on the center’s board.

A second source with knowledge of the situation confirmed the decision.
The New York Times, citing a resolution, reported earlier on Thursday “that the center desires to recognize and honor President Trump’s existential and unprecedented contributions to the survival of the center by all legal means.”
The board – dominated by Trump loyalists – also voted to close the Kennedy Center for two years, according to Beatty, who sued the Trump administration and the center over what she called an unlawful name change and the planned closure.
The Trump administration in December added Trump’s name to the facade of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. But in May a judge ordered the removal of Trump’s name, ruling that the iconic Washington venue cannot be renamed without an act of Congress.

A federal appeals court last month denied the administration’s bid to keep Trump’s name on the building while it pursues court action to restore it. Workers stripped Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center in June.
The Trump administration argued that removing Trump’s name would hurt fundraising and worsen the center’s finances. The appeals court said those claims were not supported by specific facts or evidence.
