The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in the US capital on Saturday said it has removed President Donald Trump’s name from its facade following a court ruling.

In a legal filing the center’s Executive Director Matt Floca said it has “removed all physical signage on the Kennedy Center building and grounds” containing Trump’s name.

Around noon Washington time, the sign on the building’s exterior was still covered by a white awning erected earlier while work was being done to remove Trump’s name.
