The U.S. government plans to take a 10% stake in Intel, President Donald Trump told reporters Friday. Bloomberg was first to report the news<\/a>, which pushed the semiconductor chip company\u2019s stock up more than 7%. Trump said Intel has agreed to the proposal.<\/p>\n

Intel declined to comment. <\/p>\n

The news<\/a> comes during a pivotal \u2014 and recently volatile \u2014 time for Intel. CEO Lip-Bu Tan is currently restructuring the chipmaker, shuttering certain divisions and laying off workers in a bid to focus on its core businesses and catch up to rivals like Nvidia.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Trump pushed Tan to resign because of perceived conflicts of interest. Tan later met with Trump to find out a way to assuage the president and figure out ways for the company and government to work together. <\/p>\n

While speaking to the White House press pool, Trump acknowledged the resignation push.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said well if that\u2019s right he should resign and he came in and he saw me we talked for a while. I liked him a lot,\u201d Trump said, according to emailed comments from the press pool. \u201cI thought he was very good. I thought he was somewhat a victim but you know nobody\u2019s a total victim I guess, and I said, you know what, I think the United States should be given 10% of Intel. And he said, I would consider that. I said, well, I\u2019d like you to do that because Intel\u2019s been left behind as, you know, compared to Jensen. And some of our friends at Nvidia.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump continued, \u201cI said I think it would be good having the United States as your partner. He agreed. And they\u2019ve agreed to do it and I think it\u2019s a great deal for them and I think it\u2019s a great deal.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Such federal government ownership of a major corporation would mark a dramatic departure from long-standing U.S. policy. Government equity stakes in private companies are extremely rare in the U.S. and highly controversial, with notable exceptions occurring during the 2008-2009 financial crisis when the government took temporary ownership stakes in companies like General<\/a> Motors, AIG, and a few major banks to prevent economic collapse.<\/p>\n

The government systematically sold those stakes back to private investors over the following several years.<\/p>\n

The Intel deal, which is expected to be announced later Friday, comes days after the Japanese conglomerate SoftBank agreed to make a $2 billion investment in Intel. That deal was couched as a commitment to advanced technology<\/a> and semiconductors in the U.S. Under that agreement, SoftBank agreed to buy Intel common stock at $23 per share. Intel shares were trading around $25 on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n
