WASHINGTON, Aug 7, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - President Donald Trump demanded Thursday that the new boss of US chip maker Intel resign "immediately," after a Republican senator reportedly raised national security concerns over his links to firms in China.

"The CEO of INTEL is highly CONFLICTED and must resign, immediately. There is no other solution to this problem," Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, a day after Senator Tom Cotton reportedly wrote to Intel questioning ties between Lip-Bu Tan and Chinese firms.
