President Donald Trump received a warm welcome at the Kennedy Center after transforming the arts institution into a $257 million renovation that he claims will require a two-year closure starting in July. The president, joined by the first lady and several aides, was greeted with widespread applause and minimal boos during a performance of "Chicago" at the Opera House. This comes amid a challenging period for the center, which has seen slumping ticket sales and major artists canceling their appearances. The center was renamed the "Trump Kennedy Center" by his board in December and has been undergoing restructuring.
