FTC Chair Holds Meeting with UK Antitrust Officials, No Deal Discussions.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chair, Lina Khan, met with the heads of other antitrust enforcers, including those from the UK, last week, but no mergers were discussed, according to an FTC official. The statement comes amid allegations that the FTC and UK are working together to block Microsoft's bid for Activision. The FTC has filed a complaint to block the deal, and Microsoft has indicated that it will fight both regulators. The FTC categorically denied any wrongdoing and said that the agency does work with other antitrust enforcers.
