Construction crews prepared to remove President Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Center Friday after a judge rejected a last-minute request from the board to keep it in place. Workers erected scaffolding as supporters gathered nearby and appeals continued. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
Workers constructed scaffolding below the sign for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington on Friday, June 12, 2026. On Saturday, June 13, 2026, protesters waved a U.S. flag and signs as workers prepared to remove Trump's name. Work was paused due to rain but later resumed.
