Trump tells Netflix- fire Susan Rice or 'pay consequences'. Who is she and what did she say?

In a recent escalation of tensions between President Donald Trump and Netflix, Trump has demanded that the streaming giant dismiss board member Susan Rice, threatening unspecified 'consequences' if his demands are not met. This controversy stems from Rice’s comments advocating for a corporate 'accountability agenda' aimed at addressing social justice issues. Rice, who served as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and as National Security Advisor under President Obama, has been a prominent figure in discussions surrounding corporate responsibility in the wake of increased focus on social equity. Her remarks were made in the context of a broader societal push for corporations to take active roles in combating systemic racism and promoting diversity. Trump’s reaction underscores the ongoing cultural and political divides in the U.S., as he continues to oppose movements he perceives as anti-business or overly progressive. This incident highlights the contentious intersection of corporate governance and political influence in contemporary America, raising questions about the role of executives and board members in shaping corporate policies and values. As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how Netflix will respond to Trump's ultimatum and what implications it may have for corporate America’s engagement with social issues.
