Donald Trump has voiced strong opposition to a potential merger between UNITED AIRLINES HOLDINGS INC and AMERICAN AIRLINES GROUP INC, signaling significant regulatory resistance to a deal that would consolidate the aviation sector in the United States. During a recent interview, the president indicated that while he is open to corporate consolidations in some cases, he believes the two major carriers are currently performing well as independent entities.
"I don't mind mergers, but with American it's doing fine, and United is doing very well."
