Trump moves to ‘fix’ US history at Smithsonian Institution: Here’s what it means

US President Donald Trump has issued an executive order aimed at reshaping the Smithsonian Institution, arguing that it has embraced a "divisive, race-centred ideology." The order directs Vice President JD Vance to oversee changes, restricting funding for exhibitions that "degrade shared American values." The directive also mandates a review of historical monuments and calls for the restoration of Independence Hall ahead of the US's 250th anniversary. The Smithsonian has yet to comment.
