Conversation: Trump says Netflix-Warner Bros. Discovery deal could be a 'problem' NHK

A: Hey there! Have you heard about the latest news?

B: No, what's up?

A: Well, Trump is expressing some doubts about Netflix buying Warner Bros. He thinks it could cause trouble because of how much control Netflix would have after the deal.

B: Wow, really? What do you mean?

A: I mean, if Netflix buys Warner Bros., they and HBO Max would control around 30% of the US streaming market. That might be a problem under antitrust rules.

B: Oh, I see! So Trump is saying he'll be involved in the decision because of this?

A: Exactly! And get this - Paramount Skydance just made a competing bid for Warner Bros., which could lead to a big fight if it goes through.

B: Whoa, that sounds like it could get messy! I'll keep an eye on this one. Thanks for telling me!
Summary
Trump raises concerns about Netflix potentially acquiring Warner Bros, suggesting it may violate antitrust rules due to combined control of approximately 30% of the US streaming market. Paramount Skydance has reportedly made a competing bid, potentially leading to a dispute.
