We will not be airing the Miss USA pageant on July 12th or working on any other projects tied to the Trump Organization,” the company said in a statement.In an interview with ABC News’ Tom Llamas, Trump said, “I love the Mexican people, I have great respect for Mexico.”In response to Univision's dropping the pageant, Trump filed a $500 million lawsuit this week against the company for damages.TelevisaFollowing Univision, the Mexico-based broadcaster fired Trump for his comments saying in part, “Mr. Trump hasn’t demonstrated understanding or respect toward Mexican migrants and has offended the entire Mexican population.”Televisa also owns the Mexican eq... less
