Trump Signals Potential Expansion of Government Deals Following Intel Investment
President TRUMP hinted at broader government involvement in corporate investments during Oval Office remarks Monday, framing last week's Intel stake acquisition as a potential blueprint. The 9.9% equity purchase at $20.47 per share—totaling 433.3 million shares—marks an unconventional foray into public-private partnerships.
"You have the United States as a partner," Trump recounted telling Intel's CEO, emphasizing his administration's willingness to replicate such deals. The comments follow market speculation about operational influence, with the WHITE House framing these investments as strategic economic safeguards rather than passive holdings.
