Donald Trump personally ordered for a statue of a Confederate general to be put back up after protesters against racial injustice toppled and burned it last week, and he is reportedly preparing to announce a mandate against the removal of monuments.

The Albert Pike monument is the only outdoor one in Washington DC that commemorates a member of the confederacy and on June 19 - the Juneteenth holiday to celebrate the emancipation of African American slaves – it was vandalized and later removed.

However, two sources told NBC News on Wednesday that President Trump personally called Interior Sec. Bernhardt and asked the Park Service to put back up the statue of Pike, who was a senior officer of the Confederate States Army who commanded the District of Indian Territory in the Civil War.

The White House did not provide an on-the-record comment about the statue potentially returning but an Interior Department spokesperson told correspondent George Bennett: 'The Secretary has made his position quite clear when it comes to lawlessness, violence against police, and destruction of public property.'
