特朗普政府将就一项法官命令提起上诉，该命令要求将特朗普总统的姓名从肯尼迪中心移除。上诉通知书已于周四提交至美国哥伦比亚特区联邦地区法院。
据一位要求匿名以讨论私人会议的知情人士向美联社透露，周四早些时候，特朗普亲自任命的肯尼迪中心董事会投票寻求暂缓执行美国地区法官克里斯托弗·库珀5月29日的裁决。该裁决称，特朗普的姓名被非法添加至肯尼迪中心。这位人士表示，正式的暂缓申请将于周五提交。
库珀上月裁定，只有国会才能更改肯尼迪中心的名称，并下令在周五前移除所有提及特朗普姓名的内容。他还阻止政府启动原定于7月开始、为期两年的该文化艺术场馆大规模翻新工程。
肯尼迪中心总法律顾问办公室6月4日向员工发布备忘录，要求邮件签名、信头及其他文件必须使用“约翰·F·肯尼迪表演艺术中心”或“肯尼迪中心”的名称，而此次董事会举动标志着政策转向。
肯尼迪中心官网已移除总统姓名。本周早些时候发给会员的6月28日马克·吐温美国幽默奖颁奖典礼门票套餐邮件，也未附带特朗普姓名，仅署名为肯尼迪中心。

作为肯尼迪中心当然成员的华盛顿州民主党众议员里克·拉森在一份声明中表示，他参与了此次会议并反对寻求暂缓执行裁决。
“我期待将这些干扰抛诸脑后，专注于支持艺术事业和该中心的未来，”他说道。
特朗普在首个任期内基本忽略该中心，但在其连任后，对该场馆施加了巨大影响力。就在其第二任期开始仅一个月时，他罢免了该中心此前的领导层，换上自己任命的董事会，并任命自己为董事会主席。他还任命理查德·格雷内尔担任中心总裁，该职位一直由格雷内尔担任至今年3月，随后马特·弗洛卡接任该职。
该中心的节目单中加入了更多符合特朗普立场的内容，例如作为第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普的纪录片《梅拉尼娅》的首映场地。
董事会还宣布将该场馆更名为“特朗普肯尼迪中心”，学者和国会议员均表示，这一变更必须由国会发起，并已在建筑外墙上实际添加了总统姓名。
艺术界的反应迅速而强烈。演员伊萨·雷、音乐家贝拉·弗莱克和作家路易丝·彭妮等众多艺术家纷纷退出演出活动，而音乐家本·福兹和歌手蕾妮·弗莱明等顾问也相继辞职。本月早些时候，国家交响乐团执行董事琼·戴维森离职，前往位于洛杉矶的沃利斯·安嫩伯格表演艺术中心担任负责人。
除周四就暂缓执行裁决进行投票外，董事会还通过一项决议，认可特朗普“对维护这一珍贵美国机构的承诺”。
White House to appeal judge’s order to remove Trump’s name from Kennedy Center

The Trump administration will appeal a judge’s order requiring that President Trump’s name be removed from the Kennedy Center. The notice of appeal was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
Earlier Thursday, Mr. Trump’s handpicked Kennedy Center board voted to seek a stay of U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper’s May 29 ruling that said Mr. Trump’s name was illegally added to the Kennedy Center, a person familiar with the move who requested anonymity to discuss a private meeting told The Associated Press. The formal stay will be filed on Friday, the person said.
Cooper ruled last month that only Congress could institute a change to the Kennedy Center’s name and ordered references to Mr. Trump be removed by Friday. He also blocked the administration from closing the cultural and arts venue for major renovations that had been planned to start in July and last for two years.
The board move marks a shift from a June 4 memo to staff from the Kennedy Center’s Office of General Counsel saying email signatures, letterhead and other documents must reflect the name as “The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts” or “Kennedy Center.”
The Kennedy Center’s website has dropped the president’s name. And an email earlier this week sent to members offering ticket packages for the June 28 Mark Twain Award for American Humor ceremony came from the Kennedy Center without including Mr. Trump’s name.

Rep. Rick Larsen, a Washington Democrat who is an ex officio member of the Kennedy Center’s board, said in a statement that he participated in the meeting and opposed seeking a stay.
“I look forward to putting these distractions behind us and focusing on supporting the arts and the future of the Center,” he said.
After ignoring the Kennedy Center for much of his first term, Mr. Trump has wielded tremendous influence over the venue during his return to office. Just a month into his second term, he ousted the center’s previous leadership and replaced it with a hand-picked board of trustees that named him chairman. He brought in Richard Grenell to serve as president, a position he held until March when Matt Floca assumed the role.
The center’s lineup has included more Trump-friendly programming, serving as the venue for events such as the premiere of first lady Melania Trump’s documentary, “Melania.”
The board also announced it had renamed the facility the Trump Kennedy Center, a change scholars and lawmakers say must be initiated by Congress, and physically added the president’s name to the building’s facade.
The fallout from the arts community was swift and intense. Actor Issa Rae, musician Bela Fleck and author Louise Penny were among the numerous artists who withdrew from appearances, while consultants such as musician Ben Folds and singer Renée Fleming resigned. Earlier this month, the executive director of the National Symphony Orchestra, Jean Davidson, left to head the Los Angeles-based Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts.
In addition to voting on the stay on Thursday, the board backed a resolution recognizing Mr. Trump’s “commitment to uphold this cherished American institution.”
