Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Demands Intel CEO Resign Over Alleged China Ties
Caption: Trump Demands Intel CEO Resign Over Alleged China Ties. President Donald Trump has publicly called for Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan to resign "immediately," accusing him of having conflicts of interest tied to investments in Chinese companies linked to the country's military. Tan, a veteran of the semiconductor industry, took the helm at Intel in March to revive the struggling U.S. chipmaker, which has received billions in government funding to boost domestic production. Intel has defended its leader, insisting both Tan and the company are committed to U.S. national security. The clash comes as Intel faces delays in U.S. manufacturing projects and industry-wide pressure over partnerships abroad. Trump's demand—unusual even for his combative style—follows similar concerns raised by Republican lawmakers. The controversy risks further destabilising Intel at a time when Washington is racing to rebuild America's chip-making capacity.
