What happened: Trump’s attack sends shockwaves through Intel

On 7 August 2025, Donald Trump demanded Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan resign. He called Tan “highly conflicted” because of past investments in Chinese firms and a settlement at Cadence Design Systems, where Tan was CEO. The settlement involved unauthorised sales to a Chinese military university. See also: AfriNIC's Vanishing Member register.

Intel’s share price fell over 3 percent after the remarks. Tan emailed staff, calling the allegations “misinformation” and stressing his “40-plus years” of lawful, ethical work. See also: Alejandro Fernandez.

Intel’s board supports Tan. He will meet Trump at the White House on Monday to address the concerns and restate Intel’s role in US chip security. See also: Aldo Garcia.
