NEW YORK -- Donald Trump and Univision said Thursday they have resolved the lawsuit the Republican presidential contender filed after the company decided last summer not to broadcast the Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants.
Trump owned the pageants at the time but since has sold them. Univision dropped plans to televise the contests after remarks Trump made about Mexicans during the announcement of his presidential candidacy.
The New York developer, making a promise to build a wall on the nation's Southern border, had said Mexicans had sent some criminals illegally into the U.S. Univision claimed Trump had "offended millions" with his comments.
Trump fired back with a $500 million lawsuit claiming the Spanish-language broadcaster unjustly broke a contract.
Trump said the two sides had resolved their differences amicably, and neither side gave details about the settlement.
