Trump calls for Intel boss to resign immediately, alleging China ties
President Donald Trump has called on the head of US chipmaker Intel to resign "immediately", accusing him of having problematic ties to China. In a social media post, he said CEO Lip-Bu Tan was "highly conflicted", apparently referring to Mr Tan's alleged investments in companies that the US says are tied to the Chinese military. It is unusual for a president to demand the resignation of a corporate executive.
