US President Donald Trump signed an executive order targeting the Smithsonian Institution, accusing it of failing to faithfully represent American history, according to Israeli media reports.
US President Donald Trump signed an executive order against the Smithsonian Institution, the world's largest museum complex, according to a report by Israeli news outlet Ynet. The order, described as an unusual move, asserts that the Smithsonian does not faithfully reflect American history. The full scope of the order's directives — including potential changes to exhibits, funding, or governance — was not immediately detailed in the initial report. The White House has not yet issued a separate statement. The executive order is the latest in a series of Trump actions targeting cultural institutions he argues have strayed from traditional narratives.
