President Donald Trump on Aug. 7 called for the immediate resignation of Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, echoing growing Republican concerns about the executive’s alleged ties to Chinese firms linked to the People’s Liberation Army, the military wing of the Chinese Communist Party.
“The CEO of Intel is highly conflicted and must resign, immediately,” Trump wrote in an Aug. 7 post on Truth Social. “There is no other solution to this problem. Thank you for your attention to this problem.”
