<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">President Donald Trump’s handpicked Kennedy Center board voted Tuesday to immediately shutter the performing arts center, a source familiar with the decision said, after its members argued the institution is in “dire” financial and structural shape.</p>
<p dir="auto">The board’s vote came shortly after a federal judge in Washington, D.C., rejected the board’s latest effort to add Trump’s name to the building’s facade — a move the board says is necessary to save the memorial to John F. Kennedy from bankruptcy.</p>
<p dir="auto">The board had cited a partial ceiling collapse in the center’s Grand Foyer earlier this month as evidence the center needed to be immediately closed for repairs.</p>
