Trump calls for Intel CEO to resign
'The CEO of INTEL is highly CONFLICTED and must resign, immediately,' he wrote on Truth Social. 'There is no other solution to this problem. Thank you for your attention to this problem!' While he offered few details about his call for Tan to step aside, Trump's post comes after Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) wrote to the semiconductor firm Tuesday about concerns with the CEO's ties to China. Reuters reported earlier this year that the Intel executive had investments in hundreds of Chinese tech firms, at least eight of which have ties to the Chinese military. Cotton also voiced concerns Tuesday about his previous role as CEO of Cadence Design Systems, which pleaded guilty and paid $140 million last month for violating export controls by selling chip design technology to a Chinese military university. 'Intel is required to be a responsible steward of American taxpayer dollars and to comply with applicable security regulations,' the Arkansas senator wrote, underscoring the nearly $8 billion that Intel received as part of the CHIPS and Science Act. 'Mr. Tan's associations raise questions about Intel's ability to fulfill these obligations,' he added.

Trump is calling for Intel's CEO to step down. Here's why.
President Donald Trump called for the immediate resignation of Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan after a Republican lawmaker aired concerns over Tan's reported ties to Chinese firms and a recent criminal case involving the executive's former company. The president wrote on his social media platform Truth Social on Thursday, Aug. 7, that Tan 'is highly CONFLICTED and must resign, immediately. There is no other solution to this problem.' Trump's comments came a day after Republican Sen. Tom Cotton sent a letter to Intel's board chair with questions about Tan's ties to Chinese firms and a recent criminal case involving his former firm Cadence Design. The Arkansas lawmaker cited Reuters' exclusive reporting in April of Tan's investments, some of which were made via venture firm or holding companies, of at least $200 million in hundreds of Chinese advanced manufacturing and chip firms, some linked to the Chinese military. Cotton said in the letter he has concerns about the "security and integrity of Intel's operations and its potential impact on U.S. national security" related to Tan's reported investments. Ohio Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno joined in on the calls questioning the CEO, posting on X Aug. 7 that it is "pretty obvious" that Intel failed its commitments to the state and that Ohio should start a fraud investigation. Intel has invested billions into building microchip factories in the state. USA TODAY has not received an immediate response for a request for comment from Intel or Tan. Intel's stock price slipped by more than 3% by early afternoon Thursday, Aug. 7, in wake of the lawmakers' calls earlier that day. More: Exemption in Trump's chip tariff helps US stocks open higher Chip manufacturing has become a key sticking point for the Republican president since taking office in January, singling out the industry in his effort to bolster U.S. manufacturing. During a White House event Wednesday, Aug. 6, Trump threatened to impose a 100% tariff on foreign semiconductors in an effort to ground supply chains in the U.S. Tan took the top job at the struggling company in March, replacing two interim co-CEOs after the ousting of Pat Gelsinger in December 2024. Tan, a Malaysian-born Chinese American, is a semiconductor-industry veteran who once served as CEO of Cadence Design Systems from 2009 to 2021. The company agreed to plead guilty in July over charges it committed criminal violations of export controls, after it sold products to a Chinese military university believed to be involved in simulating nuclear explosions. Tan was CEO during the time of these sales, Reuters reports. Some analysts and investors said Tan's deep knowledge of the Chinese semiconductor landscape is a strategic asset. Others see the political pressure as a sign of growing uncertainty around Intel. Intel was once the globe's leading chipmaker. But the company has struggled to regain its foothold in recent years, as its server chip business took a hit amid a rush of spending and interest on AI chips, a sector that Intel's competitor Nvidia currently dominates. A change in leadership at Intel could pile pressure on the company, which is also a pillar of U.S. efforts to boost domestic chipmaking. Last year it secured $8 billion in subsidies from former President Joe Biden's administration, the largest under the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act.

Trump names Stephen Miran to Fed as White House fights for lower rates
President Trump on Thursday said he would nominate Council of Economic Advisers head Stephen Miran to fill a vacant seat on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Why it matters: The pick comes as the White House continues its pressure campaign to get lower interest rates. But as opposed to early speculation that whoever took the seat might be the next Fed chair, Miran will only be a fill-in until January. Catch up quick: Adriana Kugler announced her intention to step down as a Fed governor last week, five months before her term expired, giving Trump a chance to nominate a replacement. What they're saying: Trump, in a Truth Social post, said Miran would serve the remainder of Kugler's term, through Jan. 31, and that "we will continue to search for a permanent replacement." Context: Miran was confirmed by the Senate in March to be CEA chair. A Harvard Ph.D., in Trump's first term he was a senior adviser at the Treasury Department. What to watch: How soon Miran might be able to actually join the Board of Governors.
