Intel stock rose 7% in trading on Thursday after Bloomberg reported that the Trump administration is in talks with the chipmaker to have the U.S. government take a stake in the embattled company.
Intel is the only U.S. company with the capability to manufacture the fastest chips on U.S. shores, although rivals including TSMC and Samsung have U.S. factories. President Trump has called for more chips to be made in the U.S.
The government’s stake would help fund factories it’s currently building in Ohio, according to the report.
