U.S. President Donald Trump and the chief executive of Intel, Lip-Bu Tan, met in the White House days after Trump called Tan to resign over conflicts of interest that stem from his company's investments in the Chinese high-tech sector. Trump described the meeting as 'interesting' and said that his cabinet and Lip-Bu Tan will discuss the company's future in the coming days and come up with a proposal next week.
"I met with Mr. Lip-Bu Tan, of Intel, along with Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, and Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent," Trump wrote in a post at TruthSocial. "The meeting was a very interesting one. His success and rise is an amazing story. Mr. Tan and my Cabinet members are going to spend time together, and bring suggestions to me during the next week. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
It is unknown what Donald Trump and Lip-Bu Tan discussed during the meeting, but apart from Tan's ownership of companies that have invested in the Chinese high-tech sector, the U.S. government and the head of one of the biggest technology companies in the world have a lot of topics to cover.
