Defense Sector Could Be Next for Government Equity Deals After Intel, Says Lutnick
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick suggests the defense industry may follow Intel's precedent in securing government equity deals.

Intel shares dipped 1.5% amid lingering market skepticism over such interventions. The defense sector's dual role as both public safeguard and private enterprise makes it a logical candidate for similar partnerships—though not without controversy.
