Trump announces temporary two-year closure of Trump-Kennedy Center for major renovation

President Trump announced on Sunday that there will be a temporary two-year closure of the Trump-Kennedy Center for a major renovation.Trump said the center went through a one-year review period with contractors, musical experts, art institutions, and other advisors and consultants.
“I have determined that The Trump Kennedy Center, if temporarily closed for Construction, Revitalization, and Complete Rebuilding, can be, without question, the finest Performing Arts Facility of its kind, anywhere in the World,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“In other words, if we don’t close, the quality of Construction will not be nearly as good, and the time to completion, because of interruptions with Audiences from the many Events using the Facility, will be much longer. The temporary closure will produce a much faster and higher quality result!” he added.
Trump, the chairman of the center, has determined the venue has to close for two years. He said his decision is “totally subject to Board approval.”
He added that a “scheduled grand reopening” will take place and “surpass anything that has taken place” at the facility in the past. “Therefore, The Trump Kennedy Center will close on July 4th, 2026, in honor of the 250th Anniversary of our Country, whereupon we will simultaneously begin Construction of the new and spectacular Entertainment Complex. Financing is completed, and fully in place!” Trump wrote.
“This important decision, based on input from many Highly Respected Experts, will take a tired, broken, and dilapidated Center, one that has been in bad condition, both financially and structurally for many years, and turn it into a World Class Bastion of Arts, Music, and Entertainment, far better than it has ever been before. America will be very proud of its new and beautiful Landmark for many generations to come,” he added.
