T-Mobile on Trump: 'Were not talking about this'

T-Mobile US and its normally outspoken CEO remain silent as other Puget Sound-area technology companies speak out against President Donald Trump’s restrictive immigration order.

Microsoft, Amazon, Expedia, Starbucks and the leaders of other Seattle-area business have condemned Trump’s action, which blocks refugees and includes a 90-day ban on admissions and re-entry into the U.S. for non-citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Sudan and Yemen.

“We’re not talking about this issue right now,” a spokeswoman emailed Monday in response to an inquiry from the Puget Sound Business Journal about the travel ban.

Bellevue-based T-Mobile (Nasdaq: TMUS) could benefit greatly under the Trump administration, which will likely be more open to consolidation than the Obama administration that blocked T-Mobile merger attempts.

T-Mobile US CEO John Legere stands to make as much as $65 million if the Bellevue-based wireless company is purchased by competitor Sprint – or by any buyer, for that matter.

T-Mobile's chances of finding a Federal Communications Commission-approved suitor have improved under President Donald Trump, who many expect will be more amenable to wireless industry consolidation than the previous administration. Federal regulators under President Barack Obama blocked an AT&T takeover in 2012 and a $32 billion bid from Sprint in 2014.
