据CNN获得的一份备忘录显示，肯尼迪中心总法律顾问周四下令工作人员在6月12日前移除大楼上唐纳德·特朗普总统的名字，以遵守近期的法院命令。
根据该备忘录，工作人员还被要求立即更新部分肯尼迪中心的文件——包括电子邮件签名和营销材料——以移除特朗普的名字。
“为遵守该命令，你必须立即更改电子邮件签名、信头和其他文件，将名称改为‘约翰·F·肯尼迪表演艺术中心’或‘肯尼迪中心’。模板、表格、标牌、宣传册和网页等其他更改必须不晚于2026年6月12日周五完成，”总法律顾问在备忘录中写道，该消息最初由《纽约时报》报道。
这一指令对特朗普总统掌控这座演艺中心的企图以及他在国家首都留下个人印记的 broader 计划是一记重击。他接管该机构始于其第二任期初期，当时他改组了现有董事会，安插了亲信。
“我们正在遵守法院的命令，同时评估所有法律选项，以保留此次翻新，并认可特朗普总统的领导作用，”肯尼迪中心公共关系副总裁罗马·达拉维在一份声明中表示。
当被问及对该备忘录的置评请求时，白宫让CNN联系特朗普在Truth Social上针对上周法院裁决发布的帖子。一名联邦法官此前阻止肯尼迪中心因为期多年的翻新工程临时关闭，并裁定其董事会在这座历史悠久的演艺场馆添加特朗普名字的行为违反了法律。
美国地区法官凯西·库珀得出结论，设立该中心的法律“明确表明，该中心应以肯尼迪总统的名字命名，董事会单方面决定不得使用任何其他正式名称或公共纪念物名称”。
“国会赋予了肯尼迪中心这个名字，只有国会才能更改它，”库珀在其长达94页的判决书中写道。
他给了官员们两周时间移除任何带有特朗普名字的标牌，并更新其网站，删除所有“特朗普肯尼迪中心”或“唐纳德·J·特朗普与约翰·F·肯尼迪表演艺术纪念中心”的提及内容。
裁决发布后不久，特朗普暗示他将不再专注于这座演艺中心，称他将把控制权移交给国会。（自成立以来，行政部门一直负责监督董事会，而国会则负责为其运营和维护提供年度拨款。）
“我已指示商务部与国会做出一切必要安排，以全面移交该机构的所有权，让国会负责其运营、维护和管理，”特朗普上周在Truth Social的一篇帖子中写道。
他补充说，尽管他受到了“不公平对待”，但他“无意继续”参与，除非他能“自由”地做自己想做的事。
该中心的礼品店最近将所有印有“肯尼迪中心”标识的商品打折促销——在预计关闭前享受七折优惠。停车场车库内的地图上贴着“特朗普肯尼迪中心”的标签。演出节目单上也印有“特朗普”字样。
但部分设施尚未添加特朗普的名字，特许经营杯、大礼堂的横幅和电子门票仍使用原名。
周四在椭圆形办公室的一次露面中，特朗普透露了他为华盛顿特区提出的最新项目——他称之为连接林肯纪念堂与波托马克河的“步道”。
“他们想称之为特朗普步道，”他对记者说。“但我不知道我是否想这么做，但它会很漂亮。”
CNN已要求白宫提供有关该提案的更多细节。

Kennedy Center orders staff to remove Trump’s name

The Kennedy Center’s general counsel ordered staff on Thursday to remove President Donald Trump’s name from the building by June 12, according to a memo obtained by CNN, in order to comply with a recent court order.
Staff were also instructed to immediately update some Kennedy Center documentation — including their email signatures and marketing materials — to remove Trump’s name, according to the memo.
“To comply with this order, you must immediately change email signatures, letterhead, and other documents to reflect the name as ‘The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts,’ or ‘Kennedy Center.’ Other changes, such as to templates and forms, signage, brochures, and website pages, must be completed no later than Friday, June 12, 2026,” the general counsel wrote in the memo, which was first reported by The New York Times.
The directive is a blow to the president’s bid to control the performing arts center and his broader effort to put his stamp on the nation’s capital. His takeover of the institution began in the early days of his second term, when he gutted the existing board and installed loyalists.
“We are complying with the court’s order while evaluating all legal options to preserve this revitalization and recognize President Trump’s leadership,” Roma Daravi, vice president of public relations for the Kennedy Center, said in a statement.
When asked for comment on the memo, the White House referred CNN to Trump’s Truth Social posts responding to last week’s court ruling. A federal judge blocked the Kennedy Center from temporarily closing its doors for a yearslong renovation and said its board violated the law when it added Trump’s name to the historic performing arts venue.
US District Judge Casey Cooper concluded that the law establishing the center “makes crystal clear that the Center is to be named for President Kennedy, and it cannot bear any other formal name or public memorial based on the Board’s unilateral say-so.”
“Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it,” Cooper wrote in his 94-page opinion.
He gave officials two weeks to remove any signage that includes Trump’s name and update its website to remove all references to the name “Trump Kennedy Center” or the “Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.”
Shortly after the ruling, Trump signaled he was moving away from his focus on the arts center, suggesting he would be transferring control to Congress. (Since its founding, the executive branch has had oversight over the board of trustees while Congress has been responsible for annual appropriations for its operations and maintenance.)
“I have instructed the Department of Commerce to make all necessary arrangements with Congress to allow a full and complete transfer of this Institution, giving them the responsibility for its Operation, Maintenance, and Management,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post last week.
He added that while he was being treated “unfairly,” he had “no interest in continuing” unless he was “free” to do what he wanted to do.
The center’s gift shop had recently put all “Kennedy Center”-branded merchandise on sale — 30% off ahead of the expected closure. A map in the parking garage was affixed with a “Trump Kennedy Center” label. Programs for productions were emblazoned with “Trump.”
But some of the fixtures had yet to include Trump’s name, with concession cups, banners in the grand foyer and digital tickets still bearing the original name.
In an Oval Office appearance Thursday, Trump revealed his latest proposed project for Washington, DC — what he called a “promenade” to connect the Lincoln Memorial with the Potomac River.
“They want to call it the Trump promenade,” he told reporters. “But I don’t know if I want to do that, but it’s going to be beautiful.”
CNN has asked the White House for additional details on the proposal.
