Un judecător american suspendă temporar fuziunea de 110 miliarde de dolari dintre Paramount și Warner Bros Discovery

A U.S. federal judge has temporarily suspended the proposed merger between Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros Discovery, valued at $110 billion, due to antitrust concerns raised by 12 states. The judge's order prevents the companies from finalizing the deal or integrating operations for 14 days, citing serious questions about the merger's impact on market competition. Both companies argue the merger would enhance competitiveness in streaming, but the judge prioritized public interest in antitrust enforcement over potential costs of delay. The merger could end a historic rivalry and control a significant share of major film releases.
