WAY OT: M&A Question re Circle K owner bidding for 7-Eleven owner

[Jambuba]

Hoping someone on here who is much smarter than me explain how the US could (and would) get involved in this. With about 12,500 7-Eleven owned stores and 6,000 Circle K stores in the US, there will have to be divesture, but since it is Canadian company buying a Japanese company how does that work with the US govt?
