A television company controlled by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim has canceled a project with real estate developer and TV personality Donald Trump after his comments insulting Mexicans, Slim's spokesman said.

This is the third company to cut ties with Trump, who is seeking the Republican nomination for the November 2016 presidential election.

NBC said earlier that it would no longer air the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants due to his comments. Spanish-language broadcaster Univision (UVN.UL) also said on Thursday it would not air the Miss USA pageant.

Ora TV, a production company co-founded by Slim and TV personality Larry King and funded by America Movil, cancelled a programme it was working on with some of Trump's companies, Slim's spokesman and son-in-law Arturo Elias said.
