Four days after Univision pulled out of its business relationships with Donald Trump over comments he made about Mexican immigrants, NBC is doing the same.

The broadcast network said on Monday that it will no longer air the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants, which it jointly owns with Mr. Trump.

"At NBC, respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values," the company said in a statement. "Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump."

NBC said that Mr. Trump, who has declared his candidacy for U.S. president, had already announced that he would not be participating in "The Apprentice" on NBC. But "Celebrity Apprentice," which is licensed by Mark Burnett's United Artists Media Group, will continue, NBC said.
