Trump’s Administration Seeks Government Stake in Intel: Is This the Fix for America’s Chip Shortage?

The Trump administration is exploring a potentially historic government intervention in the semiconductor industry by negotiating an equity stake in Intel Corp. The move, driven by the Chips Act funds, aims to support the delayed construction of Intel’s Ohio chip factory. This would mark a departure from traditional free-market policies and raise questions about state-sponsored tech ownership. While Intel stock has surged following reports on this potential deal, it remains to be seen if this intervention will truly resolve the company’s ongoing challenges, including delays in its production timelines and financial struggles.
