NBC is ending its relationship with business magnate Donald Trump over comments he made about Mexican immigrants during the announcement of his Republican presidential campaign.

The network said it would no longer show the annual Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants, which had been a joint venture between the company and The Apprentice host. Miss USA has been on NBC since 2003 and this year's edition was set for July 12.
