New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s office announced the delay of the painting of the “Black Lives Matter” slogan on Fifth Avenue, coming a day after he faced criticism from President Donald Trump about the move.

“It has been postponed due to scheduling change,” a City Hall spokeswoman told the New York Post and other news outlets on Thursday. “We’ll be sending out more details in the coming days on a new date,” she said.
