“The meeting was a very interesting one,” Trump said in a social media post. “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.”
Intel, in a statement, said Tan and Trump had discussed the company’s “commitment to strengthening US technology and manufacturing leadership”, casting the talks as “candid and constructive”.
“We appreciate the president’s strong leadership to advance these critical priorities and look forward to working closely with him and his administration as we restore this great American company,” the statement added.
Trump last week wrote in a post on Truth Social that Tan should step down as chief of the US chipmaker, describing him as “highly CONFLICTED”.
