华盛顿— 总统特朗普在周一与肯尼迪中心董事会举行会议前正接受记者提问，此时伊朗战争已进入第三周。
特朗普总统在白宫东厅为董事会主持午餐会议，会议期间，董事会预计将讨论并投票决定拟议中的肯尼迪中心翻新计划，该中心将于7月4日起关闭两年进行翻新。
俄亥俄州民主党众议员乔伊斯·比蒂（Joyce Beatty）作为董事会当然成员，正在就中心的计划关闭提起诉讼。上周末，联邦法官批准了比蒂的动议，允许她获取会议信息并参与会议。美国联邦地区法官克里斯托弗·库珀（Christopher Cooper）下令，比蒂”应有机会在会议上表达异议，而不应被明确禁止发言”。
裁决后，比蒂在一份声明中表示：”没有总统有权将国会排除在肯尼迪中心的管理之外，更不用说单方面更名或拆除它了。”她继续说道：”我们不会在我们国家重要遗产之一受到威胁时袖手旁观”，并表示打算在周一的董事会会议上”明确这一点”。
此次会议召开之际，与伊朗的战争推高油价至每桶100美元以上，同时总统正施压其他几个国家帮助开放关键的霍尔木兹海峡。据哥伦比亚广播公司新闻了解，美国计划向中东部署多达5000名额外兵力。
伊朗声称，美国和以色列迄今为止的打击已造成近1500人死亡。伊朗的打击已造成以色列14人死亡，中东其他地区约40人死亡，其中13人是美国军人。
肯尼迪中心董事会会议召开之际，总统周五宣布里卡多·格林内尔（Ric Grenell）将辞去中心总裁职务，现任中心设施与运营副总裁马特·弗洛克（Matt Floca）将接任首席执行官。

Watch Live: Trump speaking ahead of Kennedy Center board meeting
March 16, 2026 / 11:50 AM EDT / CBS News
Washington— President Trump is taking questions from reporters ahead of a meeting with the Kennedy Center board of trustees on Monday, which is taking place as the third week of Iran war is underway.
Mr. Trump is hosting the board for a lunch meeting in the White House East Room, and during the meeting, the board is expected to discuss and vote on the proposed Kennedy Center renovations, which are to be undertaken while the center is closed for two years, starting on July 4.
Democratic Rep. Joyce Beatty of Ohio, who is an ex officio member of the board, is suing over the planned closure of the center. Over the weekend, a federal judge granted a motion by Beatty to receive information about and participate in the board meeting. U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ordered that Beatty “be afforded a meaningful opportunity to lodge her dissent at the meeting and not be categorically barred from speaking.”
After the ruling, Beatty said in a statement, “No president has the authority to shut Congress out of the governance of the Kennedy Center, much less unilaterally rename or demolish it.” She continued, “We will not stand by while an important part of our national heritage is jeopardized” and said she intended to “make that clear” at Monday’s board meeting.
The meeting is taking place as the war with Iran is fueling higher oil pricesabove $100 a barrel and as the president pressures several other countries to help open the critical Strait of Hormuz. There are plans in place for the U.S. to deploy as many as 5,000 additional forces to the Middle East, CBS News has learned.
Iran claims the U.S.-Israeli strikes so far have killed nearly 1,500 people. Iran’s strikes have killed 14 people in Israel and about 40 more throughout the Middle East. Of those, 13 were U.S. service members.
The Kennedy Center board meeting comes after the president announced Friday that Ric Grenell would step aside from his post as the center’s president, and Matt Floca, who until now has been the center’s vice president of facilities and operations, will be the CEO.
