WSJ What’s News · Could the U.S. Government Be Considering Buying a Stake in Intel? · 15 Aug 2025 podcast

If it did happen, it would be unprecedented.

The U.S.

government taking an active role in a private company.

Why is Trump describing Tan as being conflicted in this case?

Liputan is known as Mr. Chip, but that's not because of what he's done in America.

He was a venture capitalist who invested in a lot of chip companies that have become some of the biggest and most important in China.

So that's number one.

The second thing is that more recently, he spent 12 years as CEO of a silicon company called Cadence.

And a couple of weeks ago, Cadence pled guilty to selling illegal technology to a Chinese military university.

And that happened during Tan's tenure.

And so Trump is implying, hey, Intel's one of the most important chip companies in America.

Can we trust this guy to lead it?

So I think there are two things happening here.

The first thing is that the US government believes the military battles of the future are going to be won via artificial intelligence.

AI helps design nuclear weapons, fighter jets, missiles, things like that.

And the thing that powers the best AI are cutting edge computer chips.

The issue is that the US really doesn't make its own computer chips right now.

Intel is their best shot at doing that.

So they really want to ensure that if something happens to America's trading partners, that they can produce the best computer chips in America itself.

So that's number one.
