Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan hits back after Trump demands "highly conflicted" leader resign

• President Trump has demanded Intel CEO resigns
• But Lip-Bu Tan is not bowing down to Trump demands
• Intel has reduced its US factory workforce

President Trump has not been afraid of leveraging his influence to try and pressure organisations into policy or personnel changes, with his most recent vendetta is against Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan.

Tan is accused by Trump of being ‘highly conflicted’, and the sitting President calls for his immediate resignation, claiming there is ‘no other solution to this problem’.

Trump’s call comes after Republican Senator Tom Cotton wrote to Intel’s board of directors asking about Tan’s "concerning" alleged ties to Chinese firms.
