President Donald Trump has called for Lip-Bu Tan to immediately resign as Intel’s CEO over his reported ties to Chinese tech firms. The demand follows Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton questioning Intel’s board chairman whether Tan’s alleged connections to China would conflict with security regulations. “The CEO of INTEL is highly CONFLICTED and must resign, immediately,” Trump posted on Truth Social. Thank you for your attention to this problem!”Tan was named Intel’s CEO in March to overhaul the struggling chipmaker’s business, after the board ejected his predecessor, Pat Gelsinger, three and a half years into a projected four-year turnaround plan. Last month, Intel said it’s laying off 24,000 employees this year and axing planned projects in Germany and Poland.
