Intel and Apple Forge Preliminary Chip Deal with Trump Administration Backing
Intel Corp. and Apple Inc. have reached a preliminary agreement after more than a year of negotiations, marking a significant shift in semiconductor supply chains. The deal, facilitated by the Trump administration's strategic stake in Intel, could see the chipmaker produce components for select Apple devices—though specific products remain undisclosed.
The U.S. government's $56.5 billion stake in Intel served as a catalyst for the partnership, reflecting growing geopolitical emphasis on domestic tech sovereignty. Intel shares surged 14% on the news, while the S&P 500 breached the 7,400 level for the first time—a dual testament to the market's appetite for vertically integrated manufacturing alliances.
