Controversies
On June 1, 2016, Krzanich cancelled a fundraiser at his home in Atherton, California for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump after the New York Times asked Intel that day for details about the event, originally scheduled for June 2, 2016. A spokeswoman for the Trump campaign said the event was cancelled due to a scheduling conflict, and Trump held a rally in San Jose on June 2. The fundraiser was widely seen as incongruous with Intel’s support for immigration reform and US$300 million effort to attract women and minorities, as well as detrimental to the company’s interests in China, the biggest market for the semiconductor industry.
On August 14, 2017, Krzanich announced he was stepping down as a member of Trump's American Manufacturing Council.
