Trump demands resignation of Intel CEO over China ties

Source: NBC News

Aug. 7, 2025, 9:11 AM EDT / Updated Aug. 7, 2025, 9:52 AM EDT


President Donald Trump on Thursday demanded that the CEO of the tech firm Intel resign immediately, saying he is “highly conflicted” because of alleged ties to China.

“There is no other solution to this problem,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Trump’s attack on the Intel chief is his latest attempt to pressure the semiconductor industry, which has fueled the boom in artificial intelligence. On Wednesday, he said he would hit imported computer chips with a 100% tariff unless companies are making them, or plan to make them, in the United States.

The demand also comes after Sen. Tom Cotton wrote to Intel Chairman Frank Yeary to “express concerns about the security and integrity of Intel’s operations and its potential impact on U.S. national security.”

Fascists seize control of industries. Either through intimidation or by putting loyalists in control.
I don't know how anyone could make it more clear.

Because, to be clear, publicly attacking people for completely legal and normal associations is fascist.

Construction started under the Biden Chips Act which Trump gutted just because, well Biden did it.

Intel: Ohio plant ‘likely’ canceled if company can’t get new manufacturing customers
NEW ALBANY, Ohio (WCMH) — Intel announced it will need to get external customers for its manufacturing division, or it may need to stop all work in Ohio.

Last week, Intel announced it is further slowing construction at its $28 billion manufacturing site in Licking County. Intel also said if it is unable to find external customers for a new manufacturing technology, it will likely have to stop all work in Ohio. The technology is called 14A and won’t debut until 2027, so Intel will have some time to try and acquire the customers it needs. See previous coverage of Intel’s slowed construction in the video player above.

I hope the Asian Americans who drifted towards PedOTUS are happy.

Tan is ethnically Chinese but from Malaysia. Chinese people come from many nations. Typical ugly American ignorance.
