Paramount delays closing Warner buyout while judge considers states' challenge - International - 4 min read Paramount delays closing Warner buyout while judge considers states' challenge Paramount and the states have also agreed to cancel an preliminary injunction hearing that was set for August 3. The states' case in now headed down the path toward a larger antitrust trial. New York, Jul 25 (AP) Paramount and Warner Bros Discovery have agreed to delay closing their USD 81 billion merger well into next year, a stunning move arrives as a judge continues to consider a challenge from 12 states seeking to block the deal altogether. Paramount said in a filing Friday that it won't close its Warner buyout until either a court ruling is made on the states' claims or June 1, 2027. The agreement comes just days after U S District Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin granted a temporary restraining order to freeze the transaction for weeks, noting that the states had raised some "serious questions" and made a strong case about the merger's potential to "substantially lessen competition." Paramount and the states have also agreed to cancel an preliminary injunction hearing that was set for August 3. The states' case in now headed down the path toward a larger antitrust trial. The result was "exactly what we have sought from the outset: a direct path to a trial based on the evidence," Paramount said in a statement. The company, which was bought by Skydance just last year, added that it looked forward to proving its transaction is "good for competition, good for consumers, and good for creators." Meanwhile, California Attorney General Rob Bonta - who is leading the states' case - called the delay great news for audiences, movie theaters and entertainment and media workers nationwide.

Trump says US will investigate EU trade practices, claiming the bloc unfairly fined tech giants

Trump says US will investigate EU trade practices, claiming the bloc unfairly fined tech giants - International - 3 min read Trump says US will investigate EU trade practices, claiming the bloc unfairly fined tech giants Trump's move comes a day after the White House announced double-digit tariffs on imports from more than 60 countries, accusing them of inadequately enforcing bans on goods produced by forced labor. The new tariffs replace temporary 10% worldwide import taxes that Trump imposed after the Supreme Court struck down his biggest tariffs. WASHINGTON: The United States will open a formal investigation into the European Union's trade practices, President Donald Trump said on Friday, claiming the bloc has unfairly levied billions of dollars of fines against Google, Apple and other U.S. tech giants. The Republican president made the announcement a day after the EU hit Google with a fine of 890 million euros, or $1 billion, after it said the technology behemoth broke digital antitrust regulations by setting up Google Play and its ubiquitous search engine to corral consumers toward its own services and apps to the detriment of competitors. In a lengthy post on social media, Trump said he has warned the EU about its practice of fining U.S. tech companies. "The United States of America is not a 'PIGGYBANK' for Europe, nor will we allow it to be!" Trump said, adding that his post should serve as notice of an immediate trade investigation "into the practice of 'ROBBING' American Companies and, in turn, the American Taxpayer." "The European Union will pay a very big price for this illegal and highly unethical conduct, which I have consistently warned them about," he said. In the post, Trump asserted that the penalties against the companies "will be entirely reversed" and predicted "a substantial TARIFF" would be…
