Trump orders warning signs outside Smithsonian amid broader review
President Donald Trump ordered warning signs and temporary exhibits to be installed outside the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, directing visitors to what he calls accurate information and citing a White House report accusing museum leadership of anti-Americanism and extreme activism. Smithsonian officials and historians have pushed back, arguing the White House characterization is unfair and that the museum seeks to present a nuanced history rather than a political narrative.
