US EditionTrump calls for Netflix to fire Susan Rice after she warned corporations for bending ‘a knee’
Trump demands Netflix fire board member Susan Rice after her remarks on Democratic accountability amid Netflix's $83 billion Warner Bros. Discovery merger review.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump used Truth Social to demand Netflix fire Susan Rice, amplifying conservative activist Laura Loomer's calls and warning Netflix to `pay the consequences`.
- On Thursday, Rice warned that companies that `take a knee` to Trump could face an `accountability agenda` if Democrats regain power, speaking on Preet Bharara's podcast.
- Netflix's co-CEO, Ted Sarandos, testified before a Senate Judiciary antitrust subcommittee earlier this month and said he didn't seek political concessions during talks for the $72 billion deal with Warner Bros. Discovery.
- The dispute comes as the Department of Justice antitrust division reviews the $83 billion Netflix-Warner Bros. Discovery merger, with shareholders voting on March 20, 2026, and Netflix and Rice did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
- President Trump previously said he `shouldn't be involved` but has since engaged publicly amid the seven-day deliberation period and DOJ review of the Netflix-Warner Bros. deal.
