Trump calls for Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan to resign over alleged China ties
Former President Donald Trump has demanded the immediate resignation of Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, citing “serious conflicts of interest” related to Tan’s historical business links with China. The call follows a letter from Senator Tom Cotton questioning Tan’s past leadership at Cadence Design Systems, which had Chinese military customers. Intel was recently tapped as a key player in the revival of U.S. semiconductor manufacturing.
With Intel central to national tech strategy, leadership scrutiny reflects rising political pressure amid U.S.-China tech tensions.
