'Black Lives Matter' banner removed at U.S. embassy in South Korea after Trump displeased: sources

A large “Black Lives Matter” banner draped on the outside of the U.S. embassy in Seoul was removed on Monday after President Donald Trump expressed his displeasure about it, two people familiar with the matter said. The banner was hung on the front of the mission building on Saturday as the embassy tweeted a message in support of the anti-racism campaign across the United States and worldwide in response to the killing last month of George Floyd, an African American, in Minneapolis police custody. The banner was seen as a rare show of open support for the Black Lives Matter movement by a Trump appointee.
