华盛顿8月27日路透电 — 美国一名联邦法官将于周四就一项新的法律质疑进行聆讯，该质疑旨在阻止将唐纳德·特朗普总统的姓名刻在华盛顿的约翰·F·肯尼迪表演艺术中心建筑上。
这场由美国华盛顿特区地区法官克里斯托弗·库珀主持的听证会定于美国东部时间下午2点（格林尼治标准时间18点）举行，这将是法院第二次被要求阻止肯尼迪艺术中心将特朗普的姓名添加到这座纪念已故美国总统约翰·F·肯尼迪的场馆名称中。

今年5月，库珀裁定这家标志性娱乐文化场馆移除建筑上的特朗普姓名，他支持俄亥俄州民主党众议员乔伊斯·比蒂提出的针对更名行为的诉讼。库珀表示，国会确立了肯尼迪艺术中心的名称，“只有国会才能更改该名称”。
作为肯尼迪艺术中心董事会成员（凭借其国会职位获得席位）的比蒂，在该中心于12月将建筑外墙大理石铭牌修改为“唐纳德·J·特朗普与约翰·F·肯尼迪纪念表演艺术中心”后提起了诉讼。
肯尼迪艺术中心已于6月移除了建筑外墙上的特朗普姓名，此后一直用一块大型防水布覆盖该墙面。在就库珀的裁决提起上诉期间，特朗普政府曾尝试通过联邦上诉法院恢复悬挂特朗普姓名的铭牌，但未能成功。

由特朗普任命的成员组成的肯尼迪艺术中心董事会于8月13日投票决定再次更改建筑标识，这次将铭牌改为“由唐纳德·J·特朗普总统修复翻新的约翰·F·肯尼迪纪念表演艺术中心”，同时将中心的广场命名为“唐纳德·J·特朗普总统广场”。
比蒂表示，此举违反了库珀此前的裁决，并请求法院阻止这项新计划。
特朗普政府反驳称，添加新文字并未违反法院的禁令，因为建筑名称仍将是“约翰·F·肯尼迪表演艺术中心”。政府表示，“由……修复翻新”的题词只是为了承认特朗普所发挥的作用。
相关文件中提及了所谓特朗普为拯救肯尼迪艺术中心所做的努力，包括计划关闭场馆两年进行翻新工程。

“如果没有这些努力，该中心将进一步恶化成为一座不安全、破败不堪的建筑，只能被拆除，届时将需要决定在该地块上新建何种设施，”特朗普政府说道。

WASHINGTON, Aug 27 (Reuters) – A U.S. federal judge on Thursday will weigh a new legal challenge that seeks to block President Donald Trump’s name from being inscribed on the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington.
The hearing before U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper in Washington is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET (1800 GMT) and will mark the second time the court has been asked to block the Kennedy Center from putting Trump’s name on the memorial to the late U.S. President John F. Kennedy.

Cooper in May ordered the iconic entertainment and cultural venue to remove Trump’s name from the building, siding with Democratic U.S. Representative Joyce Beatty of Ohio in a lawsuit challenging the renaming. Cooper said Congress established the Kennedy Center’s name and that “only Congress can change it.”
Beatty, who serves on the Kennedy Center’s board by virtue of her position in Congress, had sued after the center changed its marble facade in December to read: “The Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.”
The Kennedy Center in June removed Trump’s name from the building’s marble facade, and a large tarp has covered the wall since then. The administration lost an early effort in a federal appeals court to put Trump’s name back up while it appeals Cooper’s order.

The Kennedy Center board, composed of Trump-appointed members, voted on August 13 to again alter the building’s signage, this time to read “The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts Restored and Renovated by President Donald J. Trump,” while naming the center’s grounds the “President Donald J. Trump Plaza.”
Beatty said the move violates Cooper’s prior order and asked the court to block the new plan.
The administration countered that adding the new language does not violate the court’s injunction because the building would still be named the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. It said the “Restored and Renovated by” inscription simply acknowledges Trump’s role.
The filing described what it called Trump’s efforts to save the Kennedy Center, including with a two-year planned closure for renovations.

“Without those efforts, the Center will deteriorate further into an unsafe, decrepit structure that will be required to be taken down, with a determination to follow on what to build on the site,” the administration said.
