If Netflix's purchase of Warner Bros, HBO Max and HBO goes through, the streaming giant would gain "a very large market share" which "could be a problem," says US President Donald Trump.

Netflix's multi-billion dollar deal was announced a few days ago and is now being reviewed by federal regulators.

"I will be involved in that decision," Donald Trump told reporters on Sunday.

The deal, which gives Netflix access to both older and contemporary hits such as “The Sopranos,” “Friends” and the Harry Potter films, has sparked concern and anger within Hollywood about what it could mean for the platform’s ability to compete in the future.

The deal will take place after the spin-off of the cable channel Discovery Global, and is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2026.
