NYC rinks to stay open for now despite dispute with Trump
Two Central Park ice rinks that were set to close after Sunday because New York City is cutting ties with the Trump Organization that operates them will stay open until the end of the season.
Mayor Bill de Blasio’s press secretary, Bill Neidhardt, said in a statement Sunday that the rinks will stay open for the remaining weeks of the season but added, “make no mistake, we will not be doing business with the Trump Organization going forward. Inciting an insurrection will never be forgotten or forgiven.”
De Blasio’s administration announced last month it would terminate business contracts with President Donald Trump after the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. The rinks were expected to close after Sunday’s sessions.
