Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:
Former US President Donald Trump has made a public statement calling on Netflix to remove its board member, Susan Rice. According to reports, Trump has threatened to “pay the consequences” if Netflix does not comply with his request.
Rice, who served as National Security Adviser under former President Barack Obama, was appointed to the Netflix board in 2021. Trump’s comments come amid a high-stakes bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery, a media conglomerate valued at over $108 billion.
Trump has been critical of Rice and her involvement with Netflix, although it is unclear what specific actions he is demanding that the company take. In a statement, Trump claimed that Netflix should remove Rice from its board or face “consequences.”
Rice has responded to Trump’s comments by suggesting that she will continue to serve on the Netflix board despite his threats. In an interview, she stated that her appointment to the board was made with the knowledge of her past involvement in politics and that she is committed to fulfilling her duties.
The situation highlights the complex dynamics between politicians, corporate boards, and media companies. As the bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery continues, it remains to be seen how Netflix will respond to Trump’s demands.
