   Intel admits US Government share deal could have a major effect on   
   international sales

   Description:   
   Intel will hand over 433 million shares to the US Government, but its also   
   worried about Trumps influence overseas.   
      
   FULL STORY   
      
   The upcoming US Government ownership deal could have knock-on effects on how   
   Intel deals with foreign customers and governments in the future, which could   
   be further amplified by Trumps unpredictable trade and tariff policies, the   
   company has admitted.    
      
   The US Government is set to acquire a 10% stake in Intel through a mix of   
   unpaid CHIPS Act grants and funding in a deal valued at around $8.9 billion    
   in total.    
      
   In exchange, Intel will hand over 433 million shares to the government, worth   
   between $10-11 billion.   
      
   Intel could be affected by its US ownership    
      
   The tricky part comes in the form of foreign business, because around 76% of   
   Intels fiscal 2024 revenue came from abroad, with popular markets including   
   China, Singapore and Taiwan.    
      
   Being part-owned by the US Government means Intel could be exposed to foreign   
   subsidy laws, extra regulations, lawsuits, political scrutiny and competitor   
   pushback that could seriously hamper its foreign sales.    
      
   Having the US Government as a significant stockholder of the Company could   
   subject the Company to additional regulations, obligations or restrictions,   
   such as foreign subsidy laws or otherwise, in other countries, Intel wrote in   
   a SEC filing .    
      
   Intel also noted that the US Governments interests may not reflect those of   
   its existing shareholders, and that its substantial additional powers could   
   prevent it from pursuing potential future strategic transactions at the   
   benefit of shareholders.    
      
   President Trump welcomed the deal, claiming it made the US $11 billion at    
   zero cost. I PAID ZERO FOR INTEL, IT IS WORTH APPROXIMATELY 11 BILLION   
   DOLLARS. All goes to the USA, he wrote on Truth social media.    
      
   The post goes on to explain how Intels stock price could go up while the US   
   would become RICHER, AND RICHER. Trump also noted that the deal would    
   generate more jobs for America!!!    
      
   It is difficult to foresee all the potential consequences, Intel concluded.    
      
   Intels latest quarterly revenue remained flat year-over-year at $12.9    
   billion, under the leadership of new CEO Lip-Bu Tan.
