US in talks over 10% Intel stake, White House confirms
The White House has confirmed that the United States is in discussions regarding a potential acquisition of a 10% stake in Intel. The talks come amidst concerns about American competitiveness in the semiconductor industry and national security issues. The potential stake would provide the US government with a level of influence over the chipmaker, which is one of the world’s leading semiconductor companies.

The statement emphasized the importance of domestic semiconductor production for economic and national security reasons.
Intel, based in Santa Clara, California, has not released an official statement regarding the talks. However, sources familiar with the matter suggest that the company may be open to the idea as it would align with its efforts to expand and modernize its manufacturing capacity in the US.
