U.S. President Donald Trump said he met with Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan on Monday, days after seeking his resignation, praising Tan and calling the meeting "a very interesting one."

Last week, President Donald Trump called Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan "highly CONFLICTED" on Truth Social. On Monday, he posted calling Tan a "success."

Cotton apparently expressed concerns aout the "security and integrity of Intel's operations" due to Tan's ties with China. Tan was named the CEO of Intel in March, taking over a company that was losing money due to its foundry business being unable to secure big customers and lagging behind rivals like Taiwan Semiconductor.
