Trump demands ‘highly conflicted' Intel CEO resign over China ties
U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday demanded the immediate resignation of new Intel CEO Lip-Bu 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. Reuters reported exclusively in April that Tan invested at least $200 million in hundreds of Chinese advanced manufacturing and chip firms, some of which were linked to the Chinese military. Trump's comments came a day after Reuters was first to report that Republican Senator Tom Cotton had 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 CEO of INTEL is highly CONFLICTED and must resign, immediately. There is no other solution to this problem,' Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform. Intel shares closed down 3% on Thursday. A leadership change could pile pressure on Intel, which is a pillar of U.S. efforts to boost domestic chipmaking. Last year, it secured $8 billion in subsidies, the largest outlay under the 2022 CHIPS Act, to build new factories in Ohio and other states. Trump's intervention marked a rare instance of a U.S. president publicly calling for a CEO's ouster and sparked debate among investors. 'It would be setting a very unfortunate precedent. You don't want American presidents dictating who runs companies, but certainly his opinion has merit and weight,' said Phil Blancato, CEO of Ladenburg Thalmann Asset Management. David Wagner, head of equity and portfolio manager at Intel shareholder Aptus Capital Advisors, said while 'many investors likely believe that President Trump has his hand in too many cookie jars, it's just another signal that he's very serious about trying to bring business back to the U.S.' 'Intel, The Board of Directors, and Lip-Bu Tan are deeply committed to advancing U.S. national and economic security interests and are making significant investments aligned with the President's America First agenda,' the company said in a statement on Thursday. 'We look forward to our continued engagement with the Administration.' Tan, who took over as CEO in March, did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment. Reuters reported in April that Tan himself, and through venture funds he has founded or operates, invested in Chinese firms including contractors and suppliers for the People's Liberation Army between March 2012 and December 2024. The reporting was based on a review of Chinese corporate databases cross-referenced with U.S. and analyst lists of firms with connections to the Chinese military. Reuters identified 20 investment funds and companies where his venture capital firm Walden is currently a joint owner along with Chinese government funds or state-owned enterprises, according to Chinese corporate records. The government funds were mostly from municipal governments of Chinese tech hubs like Hangzhou, Hefei and Wuxi. A source familiar with the matter had at the time told Reuters that Tan had divested his positions in entities in China, without providing further details. Chinese databases reviewed by Reuters at the time had listed many of his investments as current, and Reuters was at the time unable to establish the extent of his divestitures. Tan, a Malaysian-born Chinese American business executive, was also the CEO of Cadence Design from 2008 through December 2021 during which the chip design software maker sold products to a Chinese military university believed to be involved in simulating nuclear explosions. Cadence last month agreed to plead guilty and pay more than $140 million to resolve the U.S. charges over the sales, which Reuters first reported. 'We don't believe Lip-Bu is 'conflicted,' though given the nature of this administration the China ties are seemingly creating an increasingly bad look,' Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon said. 'And unfortunately, unlike other tech CEOs Lip-Bu does not appear to have cultivated the kind of personal relationship with Trump that would help to assuage his ire.' A White House official said, 'President Trump remains fully committed to safeguarding our country's national and economic security. This includes ensuring iconic American companies in cutting-edge sectors are led by men and women who Americans can trust.' Once the bedrock of Silicon Valley's global dominance in chips, Intel in recent years lost its manufacturing edge to Taiwanese rival TSMC. It also has virtually no presence in the booming market for artificial intelligence chips dominated by Nvidia and has been losing market share in data centers and personal computer – long its stronghold – to rival AMD. Intel shares have been nearly flat in 2025, after dropping more than 60% last year. The company's market value has fallen below $100 billion at a time when Nvidia has become the first $4 trillion company. Intel's profit margins – once the envy of the industry – are also at about half their historical highs. Late last year, the company fired its then CEO Pat Gelsinger well before the completion of his four-year roadmap to restore Intel's lead in making the fastest and smallest computer chips. The ousting followed a Reuters special report in October that Intel had failed to live up to the lofty ambitions he had set for manufacturing and AI capabilities, ultimately losing or canceling contracts under his watch and scrapping a revenue forecast he made even though it exceeded Intel's own estimates. To revive Intel's fortunes, the board named former board member Tan as CEO, betting on his deep roots in the chip industry and track record as a longtime investor in promising tech startups. Tan has largely abandoned his predecessor's strategy, aggressively shrinking the company's workforce and putting on hold planned manufacturing plants globally. The production process that Intel hoped would pave the way to winning manufacturing deals and restore its edge in churning out high-end, high-margin chips is also facing a big hurdle on quality as it puts newer technologies to the test, Reuters reported earlier this month. Intel has also further slowed the pace of construction of a factory in Ohio, now expected to be completed around 2030 or 2031. Ohio Republican U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno said on X that it is 'pretty obvious' that Intel failed its commitments to the state and that Ohio should start a fraud investigation.

Countdown begins: PM Modi has 19 days to dodge Trump's 50% tariff shock: What are India's options?
India has suddenly found itself in the crosshairs of the US renewed bid to pressure Russia over the Ukraine conflict. On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced a hike in US tariffs on Indian goods to 50 per cent from the existing 25 per cent, citing New Delhi's continued purchases of Russian oil. India hit back, saying the move was 'unfair' and 'unjustified.' From left: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, US President Donald Trump and Russia's President Vladimir Putin. Donald Trump on August 6 ordered an additional 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods over New Delhi's continued purchase of Russian oil.(AFP) Donald Trump's penalty on India is intended to squeeze Moscow's oil earnings and push President Vladimir Putin towards a ceasefire. The higher tariffs will take effect in 21 days, on August 27. In a fresh comment on Thursday, Trump has ruled out the possibility of trade negotiations with India, until the issue of tariffs is resolved. 'No, not until we get it resolved,' Trump said in the Oval Office in response to a question on whether he expects increased trade negotiations with India since he has announced 50 per cent tariffs on the country. On the current situation between India and the US, prominent Indian-American attorney Ravi Batra said 'much more is at stake' amid Trump's tariffs. What's next for India? On Thursday, Dammu Ravi, secretary of economic relations in India's external affairs ministry, told reporters that the US tariff hike 'lacks logic'. "This is a temporary aberration, a temporary problem that the country will face, but in course of time, we are confident that the world will find solutions," he said. He also signalled that India it may seek to rebalance its global partnerships. On Thursday night, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva discussed "regional and global issues of mutual interest" in a phone call, as the Latin American nation's leader maps out plans for BRICS nations to tackle the levies by Donald Trump. Brazil, in its statement, said it and India are the most affected countries by Trump's levies and that they needed to address the challenges of the current situation. Dammu Ravi, in his statement to the media, said, 'Like-minded countries will look for cooperation and economic engagement that will be mutually beneficial to all sides." Putin held talks with India's National Security Adviser Ajit Doval at the Kremlin on Thursday, with Russia's state-run RIA news agency reporting that they had stressed their commitment to a "strategic partnership". External affairs minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar is expected to visit Russia on a prior scheduled trip. Modi is expected to host Russian President Vladimir Putin in India later this year. PM Modi's China visit Modi is also preparing for his first visit to China in over seven years, suggesting a potential diplomatic realignment amid growing tensions with Washington. Modi will attend a summit of the Beijing-led regional security grouping — the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation — and hold a bilateral meeting with President Xi Jinping on the sidelines, officials in New Delhi told Bloomberg. The SCO summit is scheduled to be held in Tianjin on August 31 and September 1. China's ambassador to New Delhi Xu Feihong gave Modi moral support over the tariffs on Wednesday. 'Give the bully an inch, he will take a mile,' Xu wrote on X over a quote from Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi denouncing the use of tariffs 'as a weapon to suppress other countries.' PM Modi vows 'no compromise' on farmers' interests Modi said on Thursday he will not compromise the interests of the country's farmers even if he has to pay a heavy price, in his first comments after Trump's tariffs shock. "For us, our farmers' welfare is supreme," Modi said at an event in New Delhi. "India will never compromise on the wellbeing of its farmers, dairy (sector) and fishermen. And I know personally I will have to pay a heavy price for it," he said. US import taxes are one part of a multilayered tariff strategy that includes national security-based sectoral tariffs on semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, autos, steel, aluminum, copper, lumber and other goods. Trump said on Wednesday that the microchip duties could reach 100%. China is on a separate tariff track and will face a potential tariff increase on August 12 unless Trump approves an extension of a prior truce. He has said he may impose additional tariffs on China's purchases of Russian oil as he seeks to pressure Moscow into ending its war in Ukraine. (With inputs from agencies)

US calls India strategic partner, vows dialogue despite trade tensions
The United States has called India a 'strategic partner' and said it is engaging New Delhi in 'full and frank dialogue', even as relations between the two countries face strains over tariffs, trade imbalance, and Russian oil purchases. While President Donald Trump has ruled out further trade talks until the ongoing tariff dispute is resolved, the State Department struck a more measured note. Speaking to journalists in Washington on Thursday (local time), spokesperson Tommy Pigott said the administration was addressing disagreements directly. Pigott outlined two major concerns: 1. Trade imbalance 2. Purchase of Russian oil Pigott said the US President has been 'very clear' about concerns over India's trade imbalance and its purchases of Russian oil. 'You have seen him take action directly on that. India is a strategic partner with whom we engage in a full and frank dialogue. That will continue,' he said. When asked if Washington feared worsening ties or the risk of India moving closer to China, Pigott reiterated the US commitment to resolving differences through direct and ongoing engagement with New Delhi. 'Addressing those concerns is important,' he said. 'Ultimately, this is about a frank and full dialogue; that's what it means to advance American interests.' When questioned if China and other Brics nations were leading efforts to organise pushback against US trade measures, the State Department reaffirmed that dialogue with India 'will continue'. Trump rules out trade talks with India US President Donald Trump has ruled out any trade negotiations with India until the ongoing tariff dispute between the two countries is resolved. His response came after he was asked whether he expected further talks following the announcement of steep tariffs. His comments came after he warned of new 'secondary sanctions' on countries trading with Moscow, when asked why India was being singled out for its ties with Russia while others continued purchasing Russian energy.
