US Seeks Stake in Struggling Chipmaker Intel Amid National Security Concerns

The US government is in talks with Intel to take a stake in the embattled company, Bloomberg reported on Thursday. If agreed upon, this move would help fund Intel’s existing factories in Ohio. Intel shares rose 7%, bringing its year-to-date gain to 19%, after news broke that the Trump administration is considering investing in the struggling chipmaker. With President Donald Trump calling for more chips and high-tech manufacturing in the US, Intel’s expertise in producing fastest US-made chips makes it a key player in this effort.
