数千名抗议者在华盛顿聚集在肯尼迪中心外，组织起名为"Hands Around the Kennedy Center"的示威活动，反对特朗普政府可能拆除这一文化机构的计划1。抗议者组织人链环绕建筑，高喊"Hands off!"等口号2，表达对这一地标建筑未来的担忧。肯尼迪中心已于周二下午关闭，并设置路障阻止公众进入3。
特朗普曾推动将肯尼迪中心更名为Trump-Kennedy Center，2025年其指定的董事会投票批准了这一改名1。然而法院在5月份裁定这一改名非法，并令其删除，特朗普的名字在2026年6月从建筑上被移除1。对此，特朗普威胁阻止该中心的翻新工程，并暗示如果其政府未获得认可，肯尼迪中心将被关闭或拆除3。特朗普表示："如果我们不那样做，它将关闭。它最终会被拆除。它的状况非常、非常糟糕，处于非常危险的状态。"1
肯尼迪中心建成于1971年，为纪念遇刺身亡的肯尼迪总统1。
Thousands of demonstrators gathered outside the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., to voice opposition to the Trump administration's potential plans to demolish the cultural institution 12. The protesters organized human chains around the venue and chanted slogans including "Hands off!" 2, expressing alarm over threats to one of the nation's most prominent arts centers.
The controversy stems from President Trump's earlier efforts to rename the Kennedy Center as the Trump-Kennedy Center 1. A board appointed by Trump in 2025 voted to change the institution's name, but in May, a court ruled the alteration illegal and ordered Trump's name removed 1. The name was subsequently taken down from the building in June 2026 1. Undeterred by the legal setback, Trump suggested that if his government's objectives were not met, the center would be closed or demolished, stating: "If we don't do that, it's going to close. It'll end up being ripped down. It's in very, very bad shape, very dangerous shape." 1 Trump has also threatened to block renovation work at the facility 3.
The Kennedy Center, completed in 1971 as a memorial to President John F. Kennedy, was shuttered on Tuesday afternoon, with barriers erected to prevent public entry 3.
