During an interview with US Weekly magazine, Donald Trump refused to apologize to México and Latinos in the U.S. after the comments he made against Mexicans during his candidacy speech that have caused Latinos everywhere to revolt against the businessman.

In the latest issue of the magazine he says, “There is nothing to apologize for. Everything I said is correct. People are flowing through the borders and we have no idea who they are, where they’re coming from. They’re not only coming from Mexico, they’re coming from all over South America and the world.”

Trump has been receiving harsh critiques from Latino media and celebrities who make a living in the U.S. such as, J Balvin, Ricky Martin, Fher Olvera, and "Miss USA" hosts Cristián de la Fuente and Roselyn Sánchez, who announced this week that they were not participating in the event in solidarity with the Latino community.

"We'll get more people," Trump told US Weekly. "We have many people that want to do this. We're just looking right now. We couldn't care less about those two hosts backing out. I never even heard of them quite frankly."

When they questioned him about Univision’s decision to cut all business with him, he replied: "They can't back out. Pressure was put on them by the Mexican government, in my opinion. Because I'm running for President, and as you know I'm polling very well, second place, but I'm running for President and I bring up the trade with Mexico is a disaster and the borders are a disaster. They want me to be quiet and not talk about that because Mexico wants to continue to rip off the United States and I won't allow that. That's all this is. It's disgraceful that Univision will be on the side of Mexico and not on the side of the United States."

The drama continues as many celebrities unite to boycott the pageant, which is owned by the real estate tycoon, and when the magazine reminded him that all of this could hurt this year's ratrings, he replied: "They can do whatever they want. I couldn't care less. All I'm doing is fighting for the United States. I'm not fighting for Mexico."
