Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump canceled a sit-down interview with Yahoo! News reporter Katie Couric that was scheduled for Tuesday, CNN reported.
Trump called Monday for a ban on Muslims entering the United States and stood by that stance in multiple phone interviews on morning talk shows Tuesday.
A Yahoo! News spokesperson told CNN that the exact reasoning for Trump’s cancellation was unknown.
“He just abruptly canceled last night,” the spokesperson said. “They said it was a scheduling issue, but we’re not sure their rationale or reasoning.”
Trump’s spokeswoman, Hope Hicks, told CNN that the interview would be rescheduled but did not say when.
Trump tweeted that he’d be talking with ABC News host Barbara Walters Tuesday:
The legendary @BarbaraJWalters will be asking me questions about the Presidential campaign on @WNTonight at 6:30 PM.

How can a guy who says he’s really smart with a YUGGGGE memory and leading so far in the polls be scared of Lil’ Katie?
This can not be too suprising. Little Donnie Trump, better known as “Hitler on the Hudson” might get asked a really tough question like, What do you read? If he were to answer honestly he would likely have to say, "You know, all of them, Mien Kumpf and Government for Dummies. "
Let’s not forget that the Couric interview was the beginning of the end for Palin/What’s-his-name in 2008. No wonder the Furor is running scared.

And when it comes to establishing your world view, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read?
