Donald Trump scheduled to address City Club

     CHICAGO (AP) - Donald Trump is making a stop to address the City Club of Chicago. 
      The Republican presidential candidate is scheduled to speak Monday to the group of civic and business leaders. 
      In recent days, comments he made during his presidential campaign kickoff speech have drawn criticism. Trump accused Latino immigrants of bringing drugs and crime to the U.S. and called for building a wall along the border. In response, Univision said it'd drop the Miss USA pageant and cut all business ties with the billionaire. Trump says he was only criticizing U.S. policies concerning Mexico, not its people. 
      Trump has created waves in Chicago too. 
      Last year the installation of 20-foot-tall letters spelling out Trump on his skyscraper triggered a verbal spat with Mayor Rahm Emanuel who called it "architecturally tasteless."
