Former President Donald TRUMP has publicly criticized Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, calling him "highly conflicted" due to his ties with Chinese firms. This comes as the U.S. government intensifies efforts to bolster domestic semiconductor manufacturing. Intel has swiftly engaged with U.S. officials to address concerns and reaffirm its commitment to the American chip industry.
Leadership transitions at Intel have historically added uncertainty during critical periods. The resignation of former CEO Brian Krzanich in 2018 serves as a cautionary example, despite strong financial results at the time. Trump’s tariffs on foreign chips are pressuring U.S. companies to shift toward onshore manufacturing, further complicating the landscape for Intel.
