As Donald Trump's new administration prepares, expectations for a loosening of merger and acquisition regulations may be misguided. Historical data indicates that Trump's first term was as rigorous as Joe Biden's, featuring significant merger challenges from the DOJ and FTC. While Trump might lean towards negotiating rather than litigating, scrutiny of mergers, especially in the tech sector, is likely to continue. The appointment of new FTC leadership could signal a shift, but expectations for a dramatic reduction in merger regulations might prove overly optimistic.
