According to reports, U.S. antitrust enforcers under the Trump administration approved several major deals, diverging from previous practices.
Key highlights:
• Deals totaling $63 billion cleared in June by the DOJ and FTC.
• Antitrust heads Ferguson and Slater adopt a different approach.
• Mars’ $36 billion acquisition and Omnicom’s $13.5 billion deal approved.
• FTC shortens waiting periods for non-problematic mergers.
• Clarity for dealmakers like Ferrero and Kellogg amid regulatory reviews.
The shift in antitrust enforcement could impact the global business landscape and Indian tech companies eyeing international mergers and acquisitions.
