Paramount Skydance on Monday launched a hostile bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery after it accepted an offer from Netflix – even as President Trump warned that the Netflix deal “could be a problem” with his antitrust regulators.
Paramount is making its case directly to shareholders with an all-cash, $30-per-share offer to take over the entire company – the same bid that WBD rejected last week, The Post previously reported .

Paramount is arguing the deal “provides superior value, and a more certain and quicker path to completion to WBD shareholders,” according to a press release out Monday.
