Trump stated on Truth Social that the U.S. &quot;paid nothing for these Shares,&quot; asserting that the entire value &quot;goes to the USA.&quot; This acquisition positions the U.S. government as one of Intel&#39;s largest shareholders, though the shares are non-voting and do not grant board representation.<\/p>\n<p>The arrangement involved converting <strong>$8.9 billion<\/strong> in previously allocated government funds, specifically from the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act grants and the Secure Enclave program, into common stock. When combined with <strong>$2.2 billion<\/strong> Intel had already received, the total government commitment related to this stake amounts to <strong>$11.1 billion<\/strong>. Intel&#39;s market capitalization is currently over <strong>$100 billion<\/strong>, and the government&#39;s shares were acquired at <strong>$20.47 per share<\/strong>, below Friday&#39;s closing price. Trump emphasized his intention to &quot;make deals like that for our Country all day long&quot; and pledged to &quot;help those companies that make such lucrative deals&quot; with the United States. This move is part of a broader strategy by the Trump administration to intervene in corporate America, aiming to strengthen U.S. leadership in semiconductors and boost domestic
