U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the National Park Service to install signs near Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History warning the exhibits are inaccurate.
The signs must promote a White House report released July 4 by the Domestic Policy Council that denigrates the displays, urges renovation, and directs visitors to resources.
