    They did kind of matter to US proceedings purely on the fact that if they hadn’t cleared regulatory issues elsewhere, the deal wouldn’t have already happened.

    The fact that the deal already happened will make it substantially more difficult to succeed, because now you don’t have to stop a deal; you have to unravel an already completed one.
