Trump not going to Hispanic Chamber of Commerce event
NEWARK, N.J. — Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump has pulled out of a planned question-and-answer session with the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Washington next week because he was concerned about the questions he’d be asked, the group said Friday.
Chamber spokesman Ammar Campa-Najjar said Trump was “unwilling to abide by the terms and conditions” of sessions that other candidates accepted.
“Trump’s decision to forfeit the Q&A session was motivated by the concern of being ‘put on trial,'” he said.
