Stay up to date with live coverage of the Trump administration and national politics Monday as President Trump hosted roundtable at the White House where he announced a $12 billion aid package to farmers affected by the trade war.
The package will include one-time payments to those hit hard. American farmers joined Trump at the event when he announces the package. One Iowa farmer told the president he brought “Christmas early” with the news of the bailout.
Meanwhile, Trump has warned the Netflix deal to buy Warner Bros. Discover “could be a problem.” On Friday, Netflix announced Warner Bros. Discovery accepted its offer for a buyout.
Trump on Sunday said the deal “could be a problem,” adding that he’ll be involved in the merger’s approval process.
“Well, that’s got to go through a process, and we’ll see what happens,” Trump told reporters Sunday on the red carpet at the Kennedy Center Awards in Washington.
“I’ll be involved in that decision, too. But they have a very big market share,” he said of Netflix. “When they have Warner Bros., that share goes up a lot.”
