Intel Corp. CEO Pat Gelsinger wants the EU to “take control of its destiny” by securing access to critical semiconductor supplies. He has similarly embarked upon the same mission for the United States. The effort is admirable but also misleading and fatuous. Intel is a public enterprise, not the right arm of the U.S. government nor a “physician” assigned to help heal the broken or compromised semiconductor supply chain.
