The Kennedy Center Honors, which airs annually on CBS, will not be attended by President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania, the White House has announced.
The Kennedy Center Honors is not the first major televised event that POTUS has decided not to attend.
“The Kennedy Center respects the decision made today by the office of the President of the United States,” David M. Rubenstein and Deborah F. Rutter, Chairman and President of the Kennedy Center, said in a joint statement.
