Now that Trump acquired 10% of Intel, who's next?

Group 1 - The United States now owns a 10% stake in Intel, which is seen as a strategic move to reduce dependence on foreign chip manufacturers, particularly TSMC in Taiwan, which is vulnerable to China [1][2] - Analyst Ben Thompson argues that while there are issues with US ownership in Intel, it is better than the alternative of Intel not existing, emphasizing the importance of chips for AI and other technologies [1][2] - There is speculation that similar equity stakes may be pursued by the Trump administration in other critical industries, such as defense contractors like Lockheed Martin, as part of a broader strategy [2][3] Group 2 - The Intel deal has been likened to a real estate transaction, where the US government may require companies to pay for amendments to existing agreements [7][8] - Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan's request for Trump to stop calling for his resignation highlights the potential for other CEOs to negotiate different terms with the administration [9] - The Trump administration's recent actions, including a 15% export tax on Nvidia and AMD, indicate a trend towards taking direct stakes in companies rather than just imposing fees [10][11]
