NBC is cutting its ties with Donald Trump over the 2016 Republican presidential candidate's recent remarks over immigrants.
"Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump," the network said in a statement Monday.
NBC also said it would no longer air the "Miss USA" and "Miss Universe" pageants on its network, which are produced with Trump.
The network has faced pressure to formally cut ties with Trump amid the controversy over comments he made at his presidential launch event earlier this month.
“They’re sending people who have a lot of problems,” Trump said of illegal immigration. "They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."
The remarks prompted Cristian de la Fuenta, the Chilean actor scheduled to host this year's Miss USA pageant, to quit. He described Trump as "a clown."
