Donald Trump said he’s thinking of undoing one more of President Obama’s orders — by restoring Winston Churchill’s bust to the Oval Office.

During his meeting at the New York Times on Tuesday, Trump sat in front of a picture of Churchill. That led to a question about whether he was considering returning the sculpture to the Oval Office.

“I am, indeed, I am,” the president-elect responded.

When President Obama began working out of the Oval Office in 2009, the Democratic president substituted a Martin Luther King bust for the British leader’s sculpture.

The issue came up when Trump met with British politician Nigel Farage, a leader of the successful Brexit movement to remove Great Britain from the European Union.

“Especially pleased at @realDonaldTrump’s very positive reaction to idea that Sir Winston Churchill’s bust should be put back in Oval Office,” Farage tweeted after a Trump Tower sit-down.

On Monday, Trump called for Britain to send Farage back to America.

“Many people would like to see @Nigel_Farage represent Great Britain as their Ambassador to the United States. He would do a great job!” the president-elect wrote on Twitter.

During the presidential campaign, conservative radio show host Michael Savage described Trump as the “Winston Churchill of our time.”
