Le président américain Donald Trump has announced its intention to transfer control of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, one of the most prestigious cultural centers in the United States, to Congress. This decision comes after a major legal defeat concerning its plans to transform the institution.
In a message posted on social media, Donald Trump indicated that he had asked the U.S. Department of Commerce to take the necessary steps to allow for a complete transfer of responsibility for the center to Congress. According to him, lawmakers should now be responsible for the operation, maintenance, and management of the facility.
The announcement comes just hours after a court ruling against the president. A judge determined that the center could not be renamed the "Trump Kennedy Center" without prior legislative approval from Congress. The court also blocked the plan to close the site for two years to allow for renovations.
Among the projects supported by Trump were the construction of a new ballroom and several major modifications to the cultural complex's infrastructure. These initiatives are still being challenged in court.
The practical implementation of the announced transfer remains uncertain. Created by Congress in 1958, the Kennedy Center is currently administered by a board of trustees, several members of which were appointed by Donald Trump during his second term.
This latest confrontation over the cultural center illustrates the persistent tensions between the American executive branch and the judiciary. It also highlights the debates surrounding political influence in the management of the nation's major cultural institutions, while several legal challenges concerning the president's projects remain pending.
