The U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce released a statement announcing that 2016 Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump has canceled his scheduled Q&A session with the group next Thursday because he was allegedly concerned he would be "put on trial."

According to USHCC spokesman Ammar Campa-Najjar, Trump -- who has described Mexican immigrants as drug dealers and rapists -- withdrew his participation in the session because he was unwilling to abide by terms and conditions of the candidate series.

"After having publically confirmed, Mr. Trump has chosen to withdraw from the USHCC's Presidential Candidate Q&A Session, scheduled for Oct. 8 in Washington, D.C. Mr. Trump was unwilling to abide by the terms and conditions of the USHCC's Presidential Candidate Q&A Series -- the same rules that all participants have previously followed," read a statement sent to Latin Post on Friday.

"The USHCC refused to change the format of the forum, show any favoritism, exclude any issues or topics, or grant any immunity from objective scrutiny of his policies."

In contrary, the GOP front-runner told CNN he never accepted an invitation to appear at the Latino groups' Q&A session next week.

"I never agreed to do an event. This is the first time I'm hearing about this. I mean, I never agreed," he said Friday.

"He wanted me to do an event because he probably can't sell tickets without me. Why would anybody do an event when he's a negative person?"

Trump added he is scheduled to appear at a campaign rally in Las Vegas on Oct. 8.

However, Hispanic Chamber CEO Javier Palomarez fired back, accusing the real estate mogul of abruptly pulling out of the event out of fear that he might be criticized.

"Clearly, the decision to withdraw from the Q&A was motivated out of fear. This further disqualifies him as a serious candidate in the eyes of the Hispanic community," Palomarez said.

Palomarez went on to say that he and Trump held a meeting on Sept. 1 at Trump Tower in New York City where they discussed immigration reform and his controversial remarks about the Latino community. According to Palomarez, during the meeting, Trump personally committed to participate in the Q&A forum.
