The Trump administration has issued a threat to withdraw cooperation from executive agencies with the Smithsonian Institution. This marks the latest step in President Donald Trump’s efforts to influence the presentation of American history. An Interior Department letter warned that without changes in leadership, the Smithsonian could face diminished support, affecting artifact sourcing and other collaborative efforts.
An example of such institutions under scrutiny includes the “American Aspirations” exhibit housed within the Smithsonian Castle, which serves as the administrative center for the Smithsonian.
