The administration of President Donald Trump is negotiating to buy a stake in Intel Corp., which is experiencing difficulties with the implementation of major projects. The terms and size of the potential deal have not been disclosed, and its conclusion is not yet guaranteed. Government involvement could accelerate the construction of the Ohio plant, which Intel plans to make the world's largest microchip manufacturing site. The project has been postponed several times. The company declined to comment on a possible deal, but confirmed support for the White House's efforts to strengthen U.S. technological leadership. This week, Trump met with Intel CEO Lip-Boo Tan, calling the talks «very interesting.» Earlier, he publicly called on the top manager to resign, accusing him of a conflict of interest due to investments in Chinese companies. If the deal goes through, it will be another step by the White House towards direct involvement in strategic industries. Previously, the government had already received 15% of the revenue from the sale of individual chips to China and a «golden share» in United States Steel after its sale to Japan's Nippon Steel. After the news, Intel shares rose by 7.4%, and the company's market capitalization has increased by 19% since the beginning of the year, to $97.3 billion.
