Donald Trump will not participate in the Fox News debate on Thursday ahead of the key Iowa caucus, his campaign manager has said as the Republican presidential front-runner accused the TV network of “playing games”.
“Most likely I would not be doing the debate. Let’s see how much money Fox is making without me,” Mr Trump told reporters in Iowa.
Mr Trump made the remarks at a news conference soon after Fox announced the lineup for its GOP debate on Thursday — the last one before the crucial Iowa caucus on February 1. He also accused Fox News of “playing games”.
Mr Trump, 69, who is leading all polls, would have taken the centre stage during the debate. In his absence this would be taken up by his distant rival Texas senator Ted Cruz.
