Wilbur Ross, who served as Commerce Secretary under former President Donald Trump, has publicly urged for the renovation of the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. Ross highlighted the building's "dangerous" structural state, emphasizing the need for significant investment to avert its potential demolition.
