US President Donald Trump has vowed to make the Smithsonian represent American history in a more “fair” manner.
Trump made his comments after the White House sent a letter to the Smithsonian on Tuesday.
The letter revealed that the White House wanted to conduct a review of museums and exhibits ahead of the country’s 250th birthday.
While taking questions in the Oval Office, the president said he doesn’t want museums to talk about history in a “woke” or “racist” manner.
“We want their museums to talk about the history of our country in a fair manner, not in a woke manner or in a racist manner, which is what many of them, not all of them, but many of them are doing,” Trump said.
