Intel CEO to visit White House on Monday, WSJ reports
Reuters could not immediately confirm the report. Intel and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Tan is expected to have a extensive conversation with Trump while looking to explain his personal and professional background, the report said, adding that he could propose ways Intel and the U.S. government could work together, the report added.
Tan hopes to win Trump's approval by showing his commitment to the U.S. and guaranteeing the importance of keeping Intel's manufacturing capabilities as a national security issue, the report added.
Last week, Trump demanded the immediate resignation of Tan, calling him "highly conflicted" due to his ties to Chinese firms and raising doubts about plans to turn around the struggling American chip icon.

‘Coalition of Willing' leaders set out stance on Ukraine ceasefire pathway
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox LONDON - Britain, France and Germany, co-chairs of the so-called 'Coalition of the Willing', set out their position on the pathway to a ceasefire in Ukraine in a statement released after a virtual meeting on Aug 13. 'Ukraine must have robust and credible security guarantees to effectively defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity,' said the joint statement, published by Britain two days before a planned summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. 'The Coalition of the Willing is ready to play an active role, including through plans by those willing to deploy a reassurance force once hostilities have ceased. 'No limitations should be placed on Ukraine's armed forces or on its cooperation with third countries. Russia could not have a veto against Ukraine's pathway to EU and Nato.' REUTERS

Trump says he will seek extension of federal takeover of DC police
WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Wednesday (Aug 13) called on his fellow Republicans in Congress to pass a crime bill extending the 30-day limit on federal police control in Washington, adding that he could declare a national emergency if lawmakers don't act. The crime-related legislation would initially pertain to the nation's capital, but could be used as a model for other US cities, he added. "We're going to be asking for extensions on that, long-term extensions, because you can't have 30 days," Trump said at the Kennedy Center after he announced the 2025 honorees. If Congress does not pass an extension, he can declare a national emergency in order to extend the 30-day limit, he said. "I don't want to call national emergency. If I have to, I will, but I think the Republicans in Congress will approve this pretty much unanimously," Trump said.

Trump says wants three-way meeting with Putin, Zelenskyy
WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said Wednesday (Aug 13) he was planning a second meeting with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin soon after Friday's Alaska summit - this time with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy included. Trump is due to sit down with Putin in Anchorage on Friday, the first meeting between the Russian leader and a sitting US president since 2021. "If the first one goes okay, we'll have a quick second one," he told reporters. "I would like to do it almost immediately, and we'll have a quick second meeting between President Putin and President Zelenskyy and myself, if they'd like to have me there." The high-stakes talks come with Trump seeking to broker an end to Russia's nearly three-and-a-half-year war in Ukraine, and Zelenskyy and his European allies have urged the Republican to push for a ceasefire. A stepped-up Russian offensive, and the fact that Zelenskyy has not been invited to the Anchorage meeting on Friday, have heightened fears that Trump and Putin could strike a deal that forces painful concessions on Ukraine. Trump said Russia would face "very severe consequences" if Putin did not agree to end the war after Friday's meeting, without elaborating. The US leader promised dozens of times during his 2024 election campaign to end the war on his first day in office, but has made scant progress towards brokering a peace deal. He threatened "secondary sanctions" on Russia's trading partners over its invasion of Ukraine, but his deadline for action came and went last week with no action announced. Trump told reporters he'd had a "very good call" with European leaders, including Zelenskyy, as he took questions from reporters at an arts event at Washington's Kennedy Center. "I would rate it at 10. You know - very, very friendly," he said.
