A third company has announced that it is cutting ties with 2016 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump following his recent anti-immigration comments about Mexican immigrants.

On Monday, a television company controlled by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim announced that it has cancelled a project with the outspoken real estate developer.

"We can confirm that we were working on a television project with Trump that has been dropped," a spokesman for Ora TV, Slim's television production studio in Mexico, told CNNMoney.

The announcement comes just a couple of weeks after Trump called Mexican immigrants drug traffickers and rapists during his presidential election announcement speech.

"They (Mexico) are not our friend, believe me. ... The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else's problems. ... When Mexico sends its people, they are not sending their best. They are not sending you. They are sending people that have lots of problems, and they are bringing those problems to us. They are bringing drugs and they are bringing crime, and they're rapists," said the reality TV star on June 16.

Trump had also promised to build a border wall and "make Mexico pay for that wall" if he is elected into the White House.

Following his attack on Mexican immigrants, Univision, the largest Spanish-language television network in the country, announced that it is cutting ties with Trump and the Miss Universe Pageant, which he co-owns.

NBCUniversal also declared that it would no longer do business with the media personality and has dropped its contract to air Trump's Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants.

Likewise, Slim's spokesman and son-in-law, Arturo Elias Ayub, told Reuters that Trump's statement was racist and "totally out of line ... working with someone so close-minded was not going to work."

Slim co-founded the production company with TV personality Larry King. According to Forbes, Slim is the richest man in Mexico and the second wealthiest person in the world, with a net worth around $71.1 billion. Trump, who is worth an estimated $4.1 billion, ranks as 405th on the list.
