Intel's shares declined after President Trump publicly demanded the immediate resignation of the company's CEO, citing alleged conflicts related to the executive's ties to China. The call for resignation followed a letter from Senator Tom Cotton to Intel's board, questioning whether the CEO had divested interests in Chinese firms.

The CEO, Lit Bhutan, who previously led Cadence Design Systems with significant business in China, has not been in the role at Intel for long. The situation has drawn attention to the rivalry between major tech companies and has contributed to downward pressure on Intel's stock.

President There is no other solution to this problem This largely seems to stem in particular from one big China hawk on Capitol Hill that senator Tom Cotton a Republican of the state of Arkansas And he recently wrote to Intel's chair to express concerns about the security and the integrity of Intel's Operations lit Bhutan was previously the CEO of a little-known company called cadence design systems that had done a lot of work in China But I will note the timing of this is interesting. We had Tim Cook from Apple in the Oval Office with the president yesterday there is certainly a power shift a rivalry of sorts between Apple and Intel certainly putting downward pressure on shares of Intel today
