US President Donald Trump commented on plans to remove Theodore Roosevelt's statue in NY.

"Ridiculous, don’t do it!" Trump added.

The statue of President Theodore Roosevelt at the entrance to the Museum of Natural History in Manhattan will be removed, New York Post reported referring to NYT.

“Over the last few weeks, our museum community has been profoundly moved by the ever-widening movement for racial justice that has emerged after the killing of George Floyd,” the museum’s president, Ellen Futter, told the Times.

“We have watched as the attention of the world and the country has increasingly turned to statues as powerful and hurtful symbols of systemic racism,” she added. “Simply put, the time has come to move it.”

According to NY Post, the statue has been criticized and defaced for glorifying colonialism and racism.
