Donald Trump Plans to Sue Univision for 'Tremendous Amount of Money'
Donald Trump has banned all workers from the Spanish-language network Univision from "stepping foot" on his Miami golf resort property while planning to sue for a "tremendous" sum.
According to the New York Daily News, in a fiery letter sent to company officials Trump informed Univision executives of his plans concerning his 800-acre Trump National Doral course earlier this week.
The recently announced 2016 Republican candidate for president actions come amid his ongoing dispute with company leaders after he recently blasted Mexico for not sending the best of its best here to the states.
"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best," he ranted in a speech formally announcing his run for the Oval Office. "They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists."
Such a rebuke drew the ire of Univison executive he quickly moved to announce they would no longer be airing Trump's Miss USA pageant on the network.
Trump now claims he plans to sue the network "for a tremendous amount of money" and his letter outlining the ban of the company's employees is but the first step in the process.
When quizzed by ABC later this week as to whether or not he has come to regret any of his words, Trump stood by his sentiments.
"Not at all," he said. "I said it about people from all over. I didn't say it about Mexico -- I said people from all over."
On Thursday, Chilean actor-producer Cristian de la Fuente, one of the show's scheduled July 12 hosts, fired back at the outspoken billionaire real estate tycoon.
"It's a shame that such an important institution as Miss USA is now in the hands of a clown," he said.
Later, Mexican singer-songwriter Ricky Martin added, "A lot of hatred and ignorance in his heart."
