President Donald Trump urged the chief executive officer of Intel Corp. to resign over what he called conflicts of interest, injecting fresh turmoil at a company already struggling to stem losses and eke out relevance in the artificial intelligence age.

“The CEO of INTEL is highly CONFLICTED and must resign, immediately,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Thursday. “There is no other solution to this problem. Thank you for your attention to this problem!”
