(Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he met with Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, along with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
Shares of Intel, considered to be at the heart of America’s domestic chip manufacturing ambitions, rose 2.2% in extended trading.
“The meeting was a very interesting one,” Trump said on Truth Social, adding that his cabinet members and Tan are going to spend time together and bring suggestions to him during the next week.
Trump last week demanded Tan’s immediate resignation over ties to Chinese firms, injecting uncertainty into the chipmaker’s years-long turnaround effort.
The CEO had invested in hundreds of Chinese firms, some of which were linked to the Chinese military, Reuters reported exclusively in April.
