The board of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington is mounting a last-minute effort to keep President Donald Trump's name on the facade of the iconic performing arts facility before a court-ordered deadline to remove it by Friday. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.

The court ordered that Trump's name be removed by Friday. However, the board has filed an appeal and is seeking a stay of the ruling.

The Kennedy Center is one of the premier cultural institutions in the United States. Trump appointed several allies to the center's board during his presidency. The legal battle continues.
