Trump Outlandishly Demands Intel CEO Tan's Resignation Over Chinese Ties

Many pundits celebrated the hiring of Lip-Bu Tan to replace Intel's ousted chief executive officer (CEO) earlier this year, but if U.S. President Donald Trump has his way, Tan's tenure as the man in charge of one of the biggest semiconductor firms on the planet will be short lived. Over on his Truth Social platform, Trump this morning called for Tan's immediate resignation.

Trump didn't specify exactly why he wants Tan to leave Intel, saying only that he is "highly CONFLICTED and must resign," and that "no other solution to this problem" exists.

"The CEO of INTEL is highly CONFLICTED and must resign, immediately. There is no other solution to this problem. Thank you for attention to this problem!," the full post reads.
