US court rules that Trump’s name must stay off Kennedy Center during appeal
A US appeals court has ruled that Donald Trump's name must remain removed from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts while the organization appeals a previous court order. The legal battle stems from a controversial attempt to rename the center and restrict its operations.

Trump’s name was removed from the centre’s facade and signage last month, after a judge ordered its removal.
The reporting relies on court documents and quotes from both sides, maintaining a standard news-reporting distance.
