肯尼迪中心荣誉奖将于12月7日首次离开其传统举办地，改在华盛顿特区第一资本竞技场举行1。这个自1978年创立以来的标志性颁奖典礼之所以更换场地，源于特朗普政府与该中心在建筑命名权上的争执1。
特朗普政府下令肯尼迪中心立即关闭，并威胁除非联邦法院允许其名字出现在建筑前面，否则将取消该机构的计划翻新1。法官克里斯托弗·库珀在5月已下令肯尼迪中心移除特朗普的名字，声称该场馆"必须以肯尼迪总统的名字命名，旨在单独纪念他"1。对此，特朗普表示："我认为特朗普政府肯定应该得到认可。因为坦率地说，如果我们不这样做，它会关闭。它最终会被拆毁"1。在国会层面，共和党参议员迈克·李本周阻止了一项防止特朗普未经国会批准拆除肯尼迪中心的两党法案1。
The Kennedy Center Honors, one of America's most prestigious cultural awards, will be held at a new venue for the first time in its history.1 The ceremony is scheduled for December 7 at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., marking a departure from the Kennedy Center's Opera House, which has hosted the awards since the program's inception in 1978.1
The relocation comes amid an escalating dispute between the Trump administration and the Kennedy Center over the building's official designation.1 In May, federal judge Christopher Cooper ordered the Kennedy Center to remove Trump's name from the facility, ruling that the venue "must be named for President Kennedy alone, dedicated solely to his memory."1 The Trump administration has responded by ordering the Kennedy Center to close immediately and has threatened to cancel the institution's planned renovations unless federal courts permit Trump's name to appear on the building's exterior.1
Republican Senator Mike Lee this week blocked a bipartisan bill that would have prevented Trump from demolishing the Kennedy Center without congressional approval.1 Trump has defended his administration's position, stating: "I think the Trump administration certainly should get credit. Because frankly, if we didn't do that, it would close. It would eventually be torn down."1
