Former U.S. President Trump Claims He Saved Intel Early in His Administration

On February 21, 2026, former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed he "saved Intel" early in his administration, reiterating his focus on domestic semiconductor manufacturing.

Despite this support and a subsequent stock surge, Intel's foundry business reported a $2.5 billion loss in Q4 2025 and has yet to secure an external customer, facing a critical window to win major orders by 2026-2027.
