Netflix’s huge plan to buy Warner Bros Discovery has turned into one of the biggest entertainment shakeups in years, and President Donald Trump is already weighing in. The streaming giant announced last Friday that it struck a deal to acquire Warner Bros Discovery’s massive TV and movie empire, a move that could reshape Hollywood all over again. But Trump isn’t convinced this takeover is as straightforward as it sounds.

While speaking at the Kennedy Centre Honours on Sunday, he made it clear he has concerns. “There’s no question about it. It could be a problem,” he said, adding that the deal still has to “go through a process and we’ll see what happens.” He also confirmed that he’s directly involved in the federal government’s review of the takeover, which was announced just days earlier.
