How could the incoming Trump admin impact the mergers and acquisitions market?

President-elect Donald Trump's return to the White House could bring a change in the market for mergers and acquisitions after President Biden's administration successfully challenged several high-profile mergers in the last four years.

The Biden administration's Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice's antitrust division intervened in a number of proposed mergers and acquisitions to challenge deals they viewed as undermining competition and potentially hurting consumers.
