"There was no photo op with Donald Trump like there was at his inauguration ceremony, where the world's most powerful tech tycoons mingled. There's no official confirmation, but there is tacit agreement from both sides: Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos met with the U.S. president in November for an hour, during which he hinted that Netflix was going to acquire Warner Bros. in one of the biggest deals of the century."
"Sarandos can frame the acquisition of his biggest rival as fulfilling one of the Administration's major obsessions since Trump returned to the Oval Office: more jobs for Americans and increased production on American soil. The Warner acquisition would mean both things in abundance for Netflix: thousands of new salaried jobs in the U.S. and up to 20 times more studio space to film without leaving home."
Ted Sarandos met with President Trump in November and suggested Netflix would acquire Warner Bros.' streaming and studio businesses. The President reportedly prioritized the best offer regardless of ideological alignment. Netflix states that the acquisition will enhance studio capabilities and significantly expand U.S. production capacity. The deal would create thousands of salaried U.S. jobs and provide up to twenty times more studio space. Major global companies are increasing American manufacturing and investment, and Netflix seeks similar domestic expansion. Paramount may present a competing offer for the entirety of Warner Bros. Discovery, potentially altering the outcome.
