US EditionTrump Demands Netflix Fire Susan Rice or 'Pay the Consequences'
Trump demands Netflix remove board member Susan Rice amid the $83 billion Warner Bros. acquisition, as the DOJ reviews the deal for antitrust concerns.
- 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.
