Intel stock rallies as Trump confirms a 10% US government stake, sparking debate over state capitalism, reshoring benefits, and long-term risks for investors.

Intel shares were up about 6% on the day, adding to earlier gains after reports that President Trump is set to announce the U.S. government is taking a nearly 10% stake in troubled chipmaker. The investment would cap a two-week frenzy in Washington over the future of the company.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said that Intel has agreed to give the U.S. government a 10% stake in its business. Speaking with reporters on Friday, Trump said the deal came out of a meeting last week with Intel CEO Lip Bu Tan — which came days after the president called for Tan to resign over his past ties to China.
