The boss of US chip giant Intel has hit out at what he claims is “misinformation” after Donald Trump pressed him to resign over links to China.

On Thursday morning, President Trump called on Intel chief Lip-Bu Tan to step down, writing on Truth Social that the CEO is “highly” conflicted and there is “no other solution to this problem.”The message was an apparent reference to Tan’s long history of doing business in China,

A change in leadership could pile pressure on the company as it pushes through a major strategic reset that Lip-Bu Tan started.
