Trump says Kennedy Center will close for two-year renovation starting in July

President Trump announced that the Kennedy Center arts complex in Washington, D.C., will close for approximately two years starting in July for renovations. The announcement came after some performers had publicly criticized the administration, though the closure appears to be a planned renovation project.

Separately, Trump threatened legal action against comedian Trevor Noah, who hosted the Grammy Awards, over a joke Noah made linking Trump to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. At the same awards show, the artist Bad Bunny used his acceptance speech to criticize U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), stating, "We are not animals or savages."
