Donald Trump and Miss Universe Organization

Miss Universe Organization: Univision said Thursday it would pull the plug on its Spanish-language coverage of the pageant July 12 by its UniMas network. It also has severed its business relationship with the Miss Universe Organization, which produces the Miss USA pageant, due to what it called insulting remarks about Mexican immigrants by Trump, a part owner of Miss Universe, according to Metro News. NBC is scheduled to air its own pageant coverage, as it has done since 2003, and has remained silent about the broadcast. But in a statement Thursday, the network sought to separate itself from Trump remarks and NEW N.Y. A Univision network is dropping the Miss USA pageant and the company says it will cut all business ties with Donald Trump in a spiraling controversy over comments the Republican presidential candidate made recently about Mexican immigrants. During his presidential campaign kickoff speech last week, Trump portrayed immigrants from Mexico as bringing drugs, they re bringing crime, they re rapists, and some, I assume, are good people. He also called for building a wall along the southern border of the U.S. The remarks drew condemnation from the Mexican government as biased and absurd. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
