A real estate firm in Dubai working with Donald Trump on a golf course removed the Republican presidential candidate’s name from the property on Thursday, just a few days after Trump proposed banning Muslims from visiting or immigrating to the United States, Reuters reported.

DAMAC Properties initially issued a statement on Tuesday indicating that the firm would continue to work with Trump on the $6 billion course.

But on Thursday, an image of Trump and his daughter, Ivanka, was removed from a billboard advertising the golf course outside the construction site, according to Reuters. And gold letters reading “Trump International Gold Club” were also removed from a wall at the golf course site.

A spokesman for DAMAC Properties declined to comment to Reuters on why Trump’s image and name were removed from the construction site.
