The governing board of the iconic performing arts venue has approved a measure to change its name the Trump-Kennedy Center, per an announcement by the White House.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced via a post that the board's vote was unified, citing "the extraordinary job President Trump has done over the last year in saving the building."

"This promises to be a truly great team long into the future! The building will no doubt attain new levels of success and grandeur," Leavitt added.

The proposed move is expected to be deeply divisive, especially in Washington, D.C., where the center has served as an beloved institution since its founding and dedication for President John F. Kennedy.

Background of the Center

Soon after assuming the presidency, President Donald Trump dismissed all the center's sitting board members and installed loyalists in their positions. The freshly appointed board then voted to elect Trump chairman.

The president helped procure approximately $257 million in congressional funding to finance major renovations and other financial needs at the national venue.

Inception

The concept for a national performing arts center originated in the 1950s. Following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the 35th president, in 1963, the planned venue was dedicated to his memory.

Further details are emerging. More details will be published soon.
