Less than a week after President Trump called for the resignation of Intel’s CEO, shares of the chipmaker are rising after Trump said he had a “very interesting” meeting with Lip-Bu Tan.
Less than a week after demanding his resignation, President Donald Trump is now calling the career of Intel’s CEO an “amazing story.”
Shares of Intel, which slid last week after CEO Lip-Bu Tan came under fire from the U.S. president, bounced higher before the opening bell Tuesday.
The attack from Trump came after Sen. Tom Cotton sent a letter to Intel Chairman Frank Yeary expressing concern over Tan’s investments and ties to semiconductor firms that are reportedly linked to the Chinese Communist Party and the People’s Liberation Army.
