President Trump calls Intel CEO a ‘success’ after meeting

The chief executive of Intel, Lip-Bu Tan, met with President Donald Trump on Monday in an emergency mission to defuse scrutiny of his leadership of the embattled chip company, just days after the president called for his immediate resignation over supposed ties to China.

It seems to have worked.

After the afternoon meeting at the White House, Trump posted on Truth Social that his discussion with Tan “was a very interesting one,” though he did not elaborate. Trump said that Tan and Cabinet members would meet next week and “bring suggestions to me,” adding that the Intel chief’s “success and rise is an amazing story.”
