The Spanish singer Julio Iglesias has said he will no longer perform in casinos belonging to Donald Trump because of anti-immigrant comments by the US presidential hopeful.
I have sung many times in his casinos, but I wont do it again. He seems to be an asshole, Iglesias told the Barcelona-based daily newspaper La Vanguardia. He thinks he can fix the world forgetting what immigrants have done for his country. He is a clown! And my apologies to clowns.
In June, Trump said in a speech that some Mexican immigrants brought drugs and crime to the United States, and some were rapists. He has called for the mass deportation of illegal immigrants.
Various organisations have severed their ties with Trump over the comments, including the Spanish-American celebrity chef José Andrés, who backed out of plans to open a flagship restaurant in a new Trump hotel.
