The White House confirmed talks for a US stake of up to 10% in Intel, citing national security and economic priorities. The move would be unusual for a large company but fits a pattern of targeted government interventions under President Donald Trump. Recent measures include Nvidia and AMD agreeing to pay about 15% of their China sales to the US government, a "golden share" in US Steel after its sale to Nippon Steel, and the US becoming the largest shareholder in MP Materials' rare earths mine. Experts describe the approach as one-off, company-specific deals rather than industry-wide policy.
The president wants to put America's needs first, both from a national security and economic perspective,
The Trump administration is really taking a broad view of what is possible for US government interventions in the private sector and very much pushing the limit,
They're cutting one-off deals with individual companies,
That's quite a different approach from setting industry-wide industrial policy standards or guidelines.
