Guatemala: Leading Presidential Candidate Blasts Donald Trump 
--------------------------------------------------------------


 
Meanwhile, in Guatemala, leading presidential candidate Manuel Baldizón
has criticized Donald Trump for his comments calling Mexican immigrants
rapists, and called on the Latino community to reject "humiliation."

Manuel Baldizón: "(This rhetoric) is a political strategy Mr. Trump is
using. However, in my view, I'm completely against these kinds of
actions that hurt Hispanics. It's important that we Hispanics are clear
that we can't be accepting of such humiliation or negative blows against
our culture and dignity."

We'll have more on Trump's comments later in the broadcast.
