U.S. President Donald Trump said he wants to make more investments in healthy U.S. companies on Monday. Whether Corporate America is on board is another story.The White House announced a near-10% stake in chipmaker Intel on Friday that converts government grants into an equity share.

In a pointed Truth Social post Monday, Trump claimed he had “paid zero for Intel,” though according to a joint press release from the Trump administration and Intel, the U.S. government has pledged to invest nearly $9 billion into the tech behemoth.

The president defends his arrangement for the US to own a 10% stake in Intel as some critics, including former Biden officials, question the deal's effectiveness.
