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.

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:
