NEW YORK (AP) — Sprint and T-Mobile shares fell after a Wall Street Journal report cast doubt on the likelihood of government approval of the companies' $26.5 billion merger .

The Journal said that Justice Department antitrust personnel, who are reviewing the takeover, questioned the companies' reasoning for it in a meeting this month. The report said the government and the companies are still talking. It cited people familiar with the matter.
