Abstract

The article discusses the evolving landscape of global antitrust merger control, highlighting significant changes in enforcement approaches from 2020 to 2025. It notes that the United Kingdom's Labour government has shifted towards a pro-growth agenda, impacting the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to adopt a less aggressive stance on mergers. In the United States, the second Trump Administration is expected to continue vigorous enforcement but with a willingness to accept remedies, while the European Commission is also moving towards a more lenient approach, particularly for European companies. The article emphasizes the increasing unpredictability of which jurisdiction will act as the marginal enforcer in global deals, influenced by geopolitical dynamics and domestic policy considerations.
