U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his intent to be involved in the decision-making process of a proposed merger between Netflix and Warner Brothers, raising concerns about market share concentration in the entertainment industry.

The announcement comes after Netflix agreed to acquire Warner Bros Discovery's assets, including its TV, film studios, and streaming services, for an impressive $72 billion. This deal would position Netflix as a dominating force in Hollywood.

While Trump did not explicitly state whether he supports the merger, he highlighted the potential issues stemming from the substantial market share that the unified entity would command, leaving economists to evaluate the potential economic impact.
