NBC is ending its business relationship with Donald Trump over his recent comments about Mexican immigrants. The network said in a statement, “At NBC, respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values. Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump.” The statement added that NBC will no longer air the annual Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants that were part of a joint venture with Trump. Its relationship with “Celebrity Apprentice” will continue, as Trump ceased his involvement with the reality show during his presidential bid. The real estate mogul and 2016 presidential candidate has faced criticism for comments he made during his announcement speech earlier this month.
