Dubai (IINA) – Landmark Group, one of the Middle East’s largest retailers, has stopped selling Trump-branded products, following Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump's call to ban Muslims from entering the United States, Arabian Bussiness.com reported.
The Dubai-based firm signed a deal in February this year to sell items from the Trump Home collection to customers in the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia through its Lifestyle outlets.
However, the group said on Tuesday it would now remove all products from its shelves.
“As one of the most popular home decor brands in the Middle East, Lifestyle values and respects the sentiments of all its customers,” Lifestyle CEO Sachin Mundhwa said, in a statement sent to Arabian Business.
“In light of the recent statements made by the presidential candidate in the US media, we have suspended sale of all products from the Trump Home décor range,” he added.
Lifestyle has more than 190 stores across the Middle East, Pakistan, Yemen, Libya and Tanzania.
On Monday, Trump called for a ban on Muslims entering the United States in the most dramatic response by a candidate yet to last week’s shooting in California which killed 14 people and wounded 21 others.
The call drew sharp rebuke from both the White House and other Republican presidential candidates.
