National Security Concerns Prompt President Trump to Demand Intel CEO's Resignation
President Trump has called for the resignation of Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan due to concerns about his alleged connections to Chinese companies. This demand comes at a critical time as Tan is working to revamp Intel amidst efforts to strengthen the U.S. chip industry. The Justice Department's recent decision to approve Hewlett Packard Enterprise's acquisition of Juniper Networks was influenced by national-security worries related to China. The U.S. intelligence community played a role in convincing the Justice Department that allowing the merger was necessary for American businesses to compete with Chinese tech giant Huawei Technologies and address other security concerns.
