Donald Trump warned Netflix that "you will face consequences" if you do not fire a member of the board of directors.

Donald Trump issued a warning to Netflix, demanding that they remove Susan Rice from the company's leadership, emphasizing that he will "face the consequences" if they do not. Rice, a former national security advisor and UN ambassador, is now part of Netflix's nomination and governance committee. Trump's comments come in the context of a battle for the acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery, where Netflix is competing with Paramount Skydance. Trump described Rice as a "political puppet" without talent and raised questions about her compensation.

Trump had also previously promised that he would not get involved in the approval process of the WBD acquisition, but his latest statements suggest a change of position. Paramount Skydance is preparing a final offer of $108.4 billion for WBD, a direct competition with Netflix, which could control a large part of the streaming market in the US.
