Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) offered support for the Trump administration’s plan to take an equity stake in chipmaker Intel.Â
The stake would be in exchange for the previous administration’s award to Intel of almost $11 billion in grants from the CHIPS and Sciences Act that was passed last year and meant to support U.S. semiconductor production.
