WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump raised potential antitrust concerns for Netflix Inc’s planned acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery Inc, noting that the market share of the combined entity may pose problems.
“Well, that’s got to go through a process, and we’ll see what happens,” Trump said when asked about the deal as he arrived at the Kennedy Centre for an event, confirming that he met Netflix co-chief executive officer Ted Sarandos. “But it is a big market share. It could be a problem.”
Netflix has “a very big market share, and when they have Warner Brothers, you know, that share goes up a lot”, Trump said, adding that he will be personally involved in the decision-making process. — Bloomberg
