PVH,
whose brands include Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Van Heusen
and Arrow, signed a licensing deal in 2004 for making shirts and
neckwear products under the Donald J. Trump brand.
PVH's agreement with Trump was to end in 2018, the company said
on Tuesday.
The Trump Organization was not immediately available for
comment.
Donald Trump, in a June 16 speech announcing his Republican
candidature for the November elections, described migrants from
Mexico to the United States as drug-runners and rapists.
Other companies that have cut ties with Trump include Comcast
Corp's <CMCSA.O> NBCUniversal and Spanish language TV network
Univision Communications Inc [UVN.UL].
NBCUniversal said it would not air Trump's annual Miss USA and
Miss Universe pageants.
Trump slapped a $500 million lawsuit on Univision last week for
ending its contract to broadcast the Miss USA pageant.
