United States: Court blocks Donald Trump's name from being displayed at Kennedy Center
A federal judge ruled Tuesday that reinstalling the American president's name on this major Washington cultural institution would violate a previous court decision.
An American judge ruled Tuesday, September 15, that Donald Trump's name could not be reinstalled on the Kennedy Center, a major cultural institution in the American capital, without violating a previous court decision.
According to information reported by RFI, this ruling comes amid tensions surrounding the governance of this cultural establishment, one of the most prestigious in the United States.
For his part, Donald Trump announced that the Kennedy Center's board of directors had voted for its "immediate" closure, though the specific reasons for this decision were not detailed in the available information.
The case raises questions about presidential authority over federal cultural institutions and the limits set by the courts on such initiatives. Further details on the legal and administrative developments in this matter are expected.
