"The Trump administration owns part of MP Materials Corp. ( NYSE: MP), the rare earth provider, and Intel Corp. ( NASDAQ: INTC), once the chip giant. Both stocks have risen recently. He wants a cut of Nvidia Corp.'s ( NASDAQ: NVDA) Chinese sales. Nvidia's fortunes would improve if the trade war with China settles down. The government also owns Lithium Americas Corp. ( NYSE: LAC), Trilogy Metals Inc. ( NYSE: TMQ), and a "golden share" in U.S. Steel Corp."
"Tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) could help General Motors Co. ( NYSE: GM) and Ford Motor Co. ( NYSE: F) stay in business. Chinese EVs are better than U.S. ones, as even Ford's CEO Jim Farley concedes. The Chinese EV tariffs help Ford and GM improve their own products instead of being overwhelmed. Companies like Starbucks Corp. ( NASDAQ: SBUX) and Walmart Inc. ( NYSE: WMT) have huge footprints in China."
The U.S. government holds equity in several strategic firms, including MP Materials, Intel, Lithium Americas, Trilogy Metals, and a golden share in U.S. Steel. Those stakes create leverage over transactions and help preserve domestic steel jobs while supporting supply-chain resilience. The administration seeks influence over foreign sales, such as wanting a portion of Nvidia's Chinese revenue, and stands to benefit if trade tensions with China ease. Tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles could aid U.S. automakers like GM and Ford by shielding them from competitive pressure. Government ownership can also protect large retailers' Chinese operations and advance defense-related procurement ties with allies.
