The singer pulled the annual Ricky Martin Foundation charity golf tournament from the Trump International Golf Club in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico, because of its owner's xenophobic statements about Mexicans.
"The decision corresponds to the commitment of solidarity from our founding president to human rights and the Latino community," said Helga García, a spokesperson for Martin, in a press release on Monday....

Mexico will not be sending a representative from the country to the next Miss Universe pageant. She joins Miss El Salvador, who announced last week that she would not participate.
