FULL STORY
======================================================================Intel
CFO says the company just received $5.7 billion from the US Government Trump
secured a 10% stake in Intel in exchange for the financial support The deal 
is aimed at keeping Intel in ownership of its foundry 

Intel CFO David Zinsner said the company received $5.7 billion from the US
government earlier this week as part of a deal that Trump hopes will make
Intel profitable and return billions to the US. 

The deal involves Intel giving a 10% stake to the US Government, negotiated 
by Trump, who also secured a 5% warrant if Intels ownership of its foundry
drops below 51%. 

However, despite signs that the deal is certainly underway, White House Press
Secretary Karoline Leavitt said its still being finalized by the Department 
of Commerce. Intels US Government deal seems to be going ahead 

Looking ahead, Zinsner suggested Intel may seek outside investment for its
foundry unit in order to attract strategic investors over purely financial
deals, but this could be years away. 

Trumps stake in Intel is meant to encourage the company to retain control of
its foundry business, boosting the US economy and supporting jobs. 

I dont think theres a high likelihood that we would take our stake below 50%,
Zinsner said (via Reuters ). So ultimately, I would expect (the warrant) to
expire worthless." 

However, Intel isnt so sure about the effects Trumps deal could have on the
company, citing potential complications with securing international deals.
Intel also noted that the White Houses interests may differ from its own. 

Despite the scale of the deal, Intel is still set to lay off thousands of
workers. Since taking office just months ago, new CEO Lip-Bu Tan has vowed to
slash headcount to around 75,000 in order to turn the company around. 

Last month, Intel posted quarterly revenue that was flat year-over-year  at
$12.9 billion. Intel shares were up 0.2% following this weeks announcement,
but despite a 21.58% increase this year to date, theyre still down 50.85% 
over the course of the past five years.
