Trump remains opposed to AT&T-Time Warner deal: report
Reuters
Donald Trump remains opposed to AT&T Inc's (T.N) planned $85.4 billion acquisition of Time Warner Inc (TWX.N), Bloomberg reported, citing people close to the president-elect.
Trump believes the deal would concentrate too much power in the media industry, Bloomberg reported.
Shares of AT&T were down 0.3 per cent, while Time Warner's stock was down 1.4 per cent.
Trump during his campaign had said AT&T's proposal to buy the owner of CNN and the Warner Bros movie studio was an example of a "power structure" that was rigged against him and voters.
Trump's transition team was not immediately available for comment.
