US PRESIDENT Donald Trump on Thursday demanded the immediate resignation of Intel's new CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, calling him "highly conflicted" due to his ties to Chinese firms and raising doubts about the future of the American chip icon.

A change in leadership could pile pressure on the company as it pushes through a major strategic reset started by Tan that aims to slash costs by shrinking its workforce and halting construction on some of its planned manufacturing plants.
