US President Donald Trump has raised concerns about Netflix’s planned $72bn deal to buy Warner Bros and HBO. Speaking at the Kennedy Center, Trump said Netflix already has a “very big market share” and combining the companies “could be a problem.” He said he would personally oversee the approval process. The deal would bring major franchises like Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, and Lord of the Rings to Netflix. Industry experts note competition issues could arise, but some expect the deal to go through with concessions. The Writers Guild warned it could reduce jobs and content diversity. (PC: BBC)
