Intel looks to be set to get the U.S. government as a shareholder. The Trump administration could pursue equity stakes in other companies including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing

The US government is in discussions to potentially take a partial ownership stake in Intel, according to an Aug. 18 report by Bloomberg. The deal could help accelerate the construction of Intel’s long-delayed semiconductor manufacturing plant in Ohio.

Federal officials are considering the move because Intel, the last leading-edge chipmaker in the United States, has been struggling.
