U.S. government in talks to take stake in Intel to boost domestic chipmaking
The U.S. government is reportedly in discussions to acquire a stake in Intel as part of efforts to strengthen the nation’s semiconductor industry. The move would support Intel’s U.S. chip production, including its delayed Ohio plant. Such a deal marks a shift in strategy, with the White House willing to directly invest in critical tech infrastructure to counter foreign competition, especially from China. The proposal comes amid broader concerns about the resilience and independence of the U.S. semiconductor supply chain.
A potential state stake in Intel signals deeper government involvement in securing domestic chip manufacturing capacity.
