President #Trump's #JusticeDepartment just became the first since the Carter administration to fight a #merger between 2 companies in different lines of business. Because those so-called #verticalmergers typically don't reduce competition, U.S. regulators very rarely try to stop them. The government's effort to block AT&T's proposed acquisition of Time Warner would be a stunning move for an administration of either party. It signals a stark change in how #antitrust law is enforced in the #UnitedStates. But it's particularly surprising for a Republican president who campaigned on a pro-business, anti-regulation platform.

The Trump administration is reviewing or set to review several high-profile mergers over the next few months. Sinclair is trying to buy Tribune. 21st Century Fox is reportedly looking for a buyer, and United Technologies is trying to acquire Rockwell Collins. #CorporateAmerica will be watching the outcome of each of those deals closely as other companies consider their own merger plans.

President Donald #Trump weighed in briefly on the government's attempt to block the $85bn AT&T-Time Warner merger. The Justice Department filed a lawsuit Monday to block the deal, calling it 'illegal' and saying it would raise prices for consumers and stifle innovation and competition. AT&T has vowed to fight the lawsuit in court, resisting suggestions it sell some of its divisions to win regulatory approval.
