US President Donald Trump said Monday he would not demolish the Kennedy Center but hinted at major changes, a day after announcing he is closing the famed Washington arts venue for two years for renovations.

Trump revealed on Sunday that he was temporarily shuttering the complex -- where several prominent artists have canceled shows after he branded the center too "woke" and then affixed his own name to the facade.
