Relatives of the late President John F Kennedy slammed the centre's board, saying the name cannot be changed under law.

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

The board of the performing arts centre voted to name it after President Donald Trump, rebranding it the 'Trump-Kennedy Center', press secretary Karoline Leavitt says.
