“President Donald Trump said Sunday that the proposed $72 billion merger between Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery ‘could be a problem’ because of the amount of market share the resulting company would have. … Trump said he would consult ‘some economists’ before the deal get his stamp of approval. ‘I’ll be involved in that decision, too,’ he said. Historically, presidents have not often gotten involved in antitrust approvals when companies seek to merge. Neither Netflix nor Warner Bros. own any broadcast stations, so the deal would not require approval by Federal Communications Commission. However, it may still require approval by the Justice Department’s antitrust division.” (12/07/25)
