Trump's name removed from Kennedy Center after court order

US President Donald Trump's name has been taken down from the front of the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, after a judge ordered its removal, Report informs via BBC.

The performance arts venue said in a court filing it had now fully complied with the ruling and that Trump's name no longer appeared on its building, website or other materials.

The president's name had been added to the venue unlawfully, a federal judge found last month, ordering its removal by June 12.

Crews erected scaffolding on Friday as onlookers gathered, though thunderstorms delayed the work until early on Saturday. A last‑minute attempt by the Trump administration to pause the order was rejected by the judge.

The case stems from a broader legal dispute over the renaming of the cultural institution, which US law designates as a memorial to President John F Kennedy.
