Trump warns Netflix of ‘consequences’ unless it pulls top Democrat from board

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

Donald Trump has publicly pressured Netflix to remove Susan Rice, a former Obama and Biden administration official, from its board of directors, threatening unspecified "consequences." This intervention comes amidst a corporate battle between Netflix and Paramount Skydance to acquire Warner Bros Discovery (WBD). Trump accused Rice, a Democratic foreign policy expert, of lacking talent and being a "political hack," questioning her compensation and role at Netflix. Rice rejoined Netflix's board in 2023 and sits on the nominating and governance committee. Trump's comments follow Rice's recent podcast appearance where she suggested holding corporations loyal to Trump accountable. The deadline for Paramount Skydance to submit a final offer to compete with Netflix's bid for WBD is approaching.
