The Trump administration will pass on control of the Kennedy Center ‌to Congress, after a judge ordered the deletion of Trump’s name from the landmark Washington venue and stifled his plans to close it for renovations, according to a story by Newsmax.

Trump said on social media that he instructed the U.S. Commerce Department to “make all necessary arrangements with Congress to allow a full and complete transfer of this Institution” and provide lawmakers responsibility over its operation, maintenance ​and management.

On Friday, U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper bade the removal of President ​Donald Trump’s name from the ⁠Kennedy Center for ​the Performing Arts, ruling ⁠that the iconic Washington venue cannot have a name change ​without an act of Congress.

Judge Cooper in Washington commanded ⁠the ‌Trump ⁠administration to remove ⁠all physical indications that carry his ‌name and to eradicate any ‌references ​to a “Trump ‌Kennedy Center” from official materials ​within 14 days.
