Trump demands Netflix remove Susan Rice from its board

President Donald Trump called on Netflix to remove former US ambassador and national security adviser Susan Rice from its board, writing on Truth Social that the company should "immediately terminate" her or "pay the consequences." His post amplified a message from right‑wing activist Laura Loomer criticizing Rice's role at the company.

Rice, who served in senior roles under Presidents Obama and Biden, recently warned companies against aligning too closely with Trump. On the "Stay Tuned with Preet Bharara" podcast she said corporations that "take a knee" to the president and break the law should expect consequences, and predicted an "accountability agenda" if Democrats regain power.

The clash comes as Netflix pursues a proposed merger with Warner Bros. Discovery that faces scrutiny from the Department of Justice's antitrust division. Trump previously said Netflix's large market share could make the acquisition a problem, though he later said he would defer to the Justice Department on the matter.
