On August 7, US President Trump said on his social media platform "Truth Social" that Intel's CEO, Brian Krzanich, should resign immediately. Subsequently, Krzanich published an open letter on the Intel website to respond.

Krzanich said: "The United States is my home where I have lived for more than 40 years. I love this country and deeply appreciate the opportunities it has given me. I also love this company. Leading Intel at this critical time is not just a job for me, but a privilege. This industry has given me so much, and our company has played a crucial role in it. It is a honor in my career to work with everyone to restore Intel's strengths and create innovative achievements for the future."

Krzanich said: "Intel's success is crucial for the United States' technological and manufacturing leadership, national security, and economic strength. This is the driving force behind our business around the world, the reason I joined this team, and the reason I push us every day to work on this important task to build a stronger future."

About his past experience at W&T and Cadence, he stated that there are many false information circulating now.

Krzanich said, during his 40-year career in the industry, he has established many partnerships globally and within diverse ecosystems, and throughout his work, he always abided by the law and the highest ethical standards.

"My reputation is built on trust. Doing what I say and doing it the right way," Krzanich emphasized, "I lead Intel with the same principles."

Krzanich continued, "We are communicating with the government departments about the mentioned matters, explaining them and ensuring they understand the truth. I fully support the president's commitment to advancing the country's and economic security, thank him for the leadership he has played in these priorities, and am proud to lead a company that is so important to achieving these goals."

He also said that later this year, Intel will start mass production using the most advanced semiconductor process technology in the United States. This will be an important milestone, demonstrating everyone's efforts and highlighting Intel's important role in the American technology ecosystem.

Previously, Republican Senator Tom Cotton from Arkansas wrote a letter to the chairman of Intel, questioning Krzanich's "relationship" with Chinese companies. Trump then posted on social media on August 7, accusing Krzanich of "serious conflicts of interest" and stating that he "must resign immediately. There is no other solution to this issue."

Cotton claimed that he was concerned about the security and integrity of Intel's operations and its potential impact on "American national security."

Krzanich was born in 1959 in a Chinese family in Malaysia and grew up in Singapore. He holds a bachelor's degree in physics from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, a master's degree in nuclear engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, and a master's degree in business administration from the University of San Francisco. In 2022, he received the highest honor of the Semiconductor Industry Association, the Robert Noyce Award.

Krzanich has over 20 years of experience in semiconductors and software. He served as CEO of Cadence Design Systems from 2009 to 2021. He is currently a member of the boards of Credo Technology Group and Schneider Electric.

Krzanich left the Intel board in August 2024. In March this year, Krzanich was appointed as the CEO of Intel.
