Dubai-based Lifestyle, one of the region's largest home decor retail chains, withdrew "Trump Home" products from its stores on Wednesday in response to his controversial comments.
"As one of the most popular home décor brands in the Middle East, Lifestyle values and respects the sentiments of all its customers," Sachin Mundhwa, Lifestyle CEO, told 7DAYS. "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."
Meanwhile, Trump on Thursday postponed a planned trip to Israel amid the growing backlash after his proposal.
