- Starting July 4, the Kennedy Center will close for two years, Trump announced on Truth Social.
- After the board vote, performers canceled shows following Trump installing new trustees and making himself chair, moves that preceded renaming and leadership ousters at the Kennedy Center board of trustees.
- Claiming the center needs a full rebuild, Trump said a one-year review with Contractors, Musical Experts, Art Institutions, and other Advisors and Consultants informed the decision, and financing is completed.
- Several top performers have pulled out, including composer Philip Glass and the Washington National Opera, while programming head Kevin Couch resigned last week amid legal objections and criticism from Kennedy family members.
- Subject to a board of the Kennedy Center, the plan involves a two-year closure starting July 4, 2026, with $257 million in funding cited and a 2028 reopening goal.
