Trump Lands Another Major Win
President Donald Trump has once again proven his deal-making skills, securing a historic win for America’s economy and national security. On Friday, Trump announced that the United States has acquired a 10 percent stake in Intel — valued at $11 billion — without paying a single penny.
A No-Cost Deal That Strengthens America
Trump told reporters the agreement is “a great deal for Intel and a great deal for America,” before posting the news directly on social media.
“The United States of America now fully owns and controls 10% of Intel, a Great American Company with an incredible future. The United States paid nothing for these shares, now valued at approximately $11 billion. This is a great deal for America and for Intel. Building semiconductors here at home is vital to our future. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump wrote.
This landmark deal not only restores American influence in the semiconductor industry but also delivers a massive return for taxpayers at zero cost.
Why Intel Matters for America’s Future
Intel is central to U.S. technology, defense, and economic growth. For years, China and Taiwan dominated global chip production, creating national security risks for the United States.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed that Trump’s goal is to bring semiconductor production back to U.S. soil.
“You can’t have 99 percent of advanced chips made in Taiwan,” Lutnick said. “President Trump wants those factories and those jobs right here in America.”
By securing this stake, Trump is ensuring that American workers, not foreign competitors, benefit from the future of microchip manufacturing.
Strong Support and Fierce Opposition
Trump’s bold move has drawn mixed reactions in Washington:
✅ Supporters: Even Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) admitted the deal made sense, saying taxpayers deserve a return on government investments. “If microchip companies profit from taxpayer-funded subsidies, the American people deserve their share,” Sanders said.
❌ Critics: Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) blasted the decision as a step toward socialism, warning that government ownership in private companies could be dangerous.
Still, Trump reminded critics that this deal required no taxpayer dollars — only tough negotiation.
America First, Technology First
Trump’s Intel deal represents the heart of his America First economic agenda: putting American workers, taxpayers, and national security first while holding corporations accountable.
With the U.S. now holding a powerful stake in Intel, America is finally positioned to compete with China, reclaim critical technology, and protect American jobs.
Bottom Line
President Trump just secured a $11 billion win for America without spending a dime. This move strengthens U.S. national security, restores leverage in the global chip war, and ensures American taxpayers finally get their fair share.
👉 Trump’s message is clear: America comes first, and the future of technology will be built right here at home.
