Trump's Return Signals Continued Antitrust Scrutiny for Big Tech

Despite Lina Khan's likely departure, Trump's populist approach suggests ongoing antitrust focus on tech giants.

President-elect Trump's administration is expected to maintain a strong focus on antitrust enforcement, although it may differ in approach from Lina Khan's aggressive policies.
Experts suggest that while Khan's exit might ease some regulatory pressures, tech and pharmaceutical sectors will remain under scrutiny.
Trump's previous administration had already initiated significant antitrust actions against major tech companies like Google and Facebook.
Analysts predict a more business-friendly regulatory environment could lead to increased mergers and acquisitions in the tech industry.
Key tech industry leaders have reached out to Trump, indicating a strategic alignment with the incoming administration.
