WASHINGTON: The White House announced Thursday that Washington’s iconic John F. Kennedy arts center is to be renamed the “Trump-Kennedy Center” after President Donald Trump. The extraordinary naming of a major cultural venue after a living president is just the latest effort by the 79-year-old Republican to stamp his identity on the US capital in his second term. He has also demolished the White House East Wing in order to install a grand ballroom, and is seeking to construct a large triumphal arch.

The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts will be renamed the "Trump-Kennedy Center," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.
