Former President Donald Trump expressed his disapproval of a potential merger between United Airlines and American Airlines. He noted that while he is not opposed to mergers in general, he believes the union of these two major U.S. carriers would consolidate the market too much. Meanwhile, the Biden administration has opposed the merger of Spirit Airlines and JetBlue, citing concerns over competition and fare increases.
