The chief executive of Intel, Lip-Bu Tan, met with President Trump on Monday in an emergency mission to defuse scrutiny of his leadership of the embattled chip company, just days after the president called for his immediate resignation over supposed ties to China.

It seems to have worked.

After the afternoon meeting at the White House, Mr. Trump posted on Truth Social that his discussion with Mr. Tan “was a very interesting one,” though he did not elaborate on the details. Mr. Trump said that Mr. Tan and Cabinet members would meet next week and “bring suggestions to me,” adding that the Intel chief’s “success and rise is an amazing story.”

Mr. Trump’s post appeared to signal that he was changing his mind about the national security risk posed by Mr. Tan, 65, who became Intel’s chief executive in March. Mr. Trump’s call for Mr. Tan to resign, citing his past investments in Chinese companies, was one of the first times the president had attempted to directly intervene to change the leadership at a major publicly traded company.

Intel did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
