福克斯新闻数字频道周二证实,肯尼迪中心董事会投票决定立即关闭位于华盛顿特区的肯尼迪艺术中心主建筑,理由是安全和资金担忧。

唐纳德·特朗普总统在投票结束后不久表示,董事会“几乎一致同意”关闭该建筑以排查安全隐患,并启动重建流程。

特朗普称,关闭令将立即生效,但翻新和重建工作要等到华盛顿特区巡回法院就目前围绕董事会提议在肯尼迪中心使用他名字的争议作出裁决后才能启动。他表示,司法部律师将寻求快速上诉。

特朗普还表示,他筹集的1700万美元已存入肯尼迪中心账户,“以维持其运营”。

另有两名消息人士告诉福克斯新闻,董事会在一场特别会议上批准了关闭决定。

周二早些时候,美国地区法官克里斯托弗·库珀阻止董事会在建筑上悬挂特朗普的名字或将场地更名为“唐纳德·J·特朗普总统广场”,裁定此类纪念设施的更名需经国会批准。

肯尼迪中心公共关系副总裁罗马·达拉维表示,董事会的决定“体现了合理的判断,明确将安全置于一切之上”。

达拉维在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中表示:“随着主建筑因紧急翻新工程关闭——这一工程早已被延误,是保护观众、艺术家和工作人员安全所亟需的——肯尼迪中心仍将致力于通过一切合法手段推进安全高效的翻新工作。我们打算就今日法院的裁决提起上诉,并继续认可特朗普主席为美国文化中心复兴所做出的历史性贡献。”

此次关闭距离9月4日暴风雨中肯尼迪中心天花板部分坍塌不到两周。

肯尼迪中心发言人罗马·达拉维当时告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,此次结构坍塌暴露了翻新的“迫切需求”,并将其归咎于“数十年的忽视和延迟维护”。

特朗普周二上午表示,一名保安在天花板坍塌前不久刚经过该区域,并辩称这一事件恰恰证明了建筑的安全隐患。

“一名保安就在天花板坍塌前一分钟刚经过该区域,”特朗普总统在他的Truth社交平台帖子中说道,“因此他当时距离必死无疑仅60秒之遥。”

据福克斯新闻数字频道获取的信息,此次坍塌的大厅楼板重逾150磅,坠落高度约60英尺。

目前尚不清楚肯尼迪中心将关闭多久,也不清楚周二的法院裁决将如何影响此次关闭行动。

Fox News Digital confirmed Tuesday that the Kennedy Center board voted to immediately close the main building of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., citing safety and funding concerns.

President Donald Trump said shortly after the vote that the board agreed “almost unanimously” to close the building for safety reasons and begin the process of reconstruction.

Trump said the closure will take effect immediately, but renovation and reconstruction will not begin until the D.C. Circuit rules in the ongoing dispute over the board’s proposed use of his name at the Kennedy Center. He said Justice Department attorneys will seek an expedited appeal.

Trump also said $17 million he raised has been deposited into the Kennedy Center’s account “to keep it afloat.”

Two additional sources told Fox News the board approved the closure during a special meeting.

Earlier Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper blocked the board from putting Trump’s name on the building or renaming the grounds “President Donald J. Trump Plaza,” ruling that such memorials require congressional approval.

Kennedy Center Vice President of Public Relations Roma Daravi said the board’s decision “reflects sound judgment and a clear prioritization of safety above all else.”

Damage to the Kennedy Center ceiling after part of it fell into the main hall on Sept. 4, 2026.

“As the main building closes for urgent renovations — long overdue and desperately needed to protect the safety of patrons, artists and staff — the Center remains committed to pursuing a safe and efficient renovation through all legal means,” Daravi said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “We intend to appeal today’s Court ruling and move forward with recognizing Chairman President Trump’s historic contributions to the revitalization of America’s Cultural Center.”

The closure comes less than two weeks after part of the Kennedy Center ceiling collapsed during a rainstorm.

Kennedy Center spokesperson Roma Daravi told Fox News Digital at the time that the structural failure demonstrated the “urgent need” for renovations and blamed “decades of neglect and deferred maintenance.”

Trump said Tuesday morning that a security guard had passed through the area only shortly before the ceiling collapsed, and argued that the incident only demonstrated the building’s safety problems.

“A security guard had just passed the area, one minute prior to this ceiling collapse,” President Trump said in his Truth post. “He was, therefore, 60 seconds away from certain death.”

The Grand Foyer slab that fell roughly 60 feet during the recent structural failure weighed more than 150 pounds, according to information obtained by Fox News Digital.

It was not immediately clear how long the Kennedy Center will remain closed or how Tuesday’s court ruling could affect the closure.
