Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos arrived at the White House on Thursday afternoon for a meeting on his company’s effort to buy part of Warner Bros. Discovery.
Sarandos is not expected to meet with President Donald Trump, who days ago demanded that Netflix boot Susan Rice from its board of directors.
“This meeting is not with POTUS,” a White House official told CNBC.
“Netflix is meeting with staff members at the White House,” the official said.
Netflix is dueling with Paramount Skydance, which this week submitted an enhanced bid to buy all of WBD.
