The Kennedy Center is now closed after its Trump-led board voted Tuesday to shut down
0:07
the building for a two-year renovation. The center closed immediately after administrators
0:11
warned that keeping the building open could put lives at risk. But President Trump says
0:16
the $250 million renovation won't begin until an appeals court rules on the fight over putting
0:22
his name on the building. A federal judge has blocked that name change, ruling the board
0:27
doesn't have the authority to rename the presidential memorial without Congress. Trump says he'll appeal and if the courts ultimately rule against the center
0:36
he says the renovation won't happen. While that project is now on hold, another Trump project
0:42
is finished. The president shared this photo of the new White House helipad
0:47
calling it a work of art and saying it was completed ahead of schedule and under budget
0:52
It's the latest in Trump's broader makeover of the White House and its grounds

Work also continues on the new ballroom built on the side of the demolished East Wing

And Trump has pushed projects beyond the White House, including work around the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and plans for a triumphal arch
