WASHINGTON: Intel Corp chose the White House Oval Office as its backdrop to announce a US$7bil (RM31.11bil) investment in a previously shelved Arizona factory, which it said would create 3,000 jobs when it is up and running. 

Intel chief executive officer Brian Krzanich told reporters about the investment while standing behind President Donald Trump. Trump told reporters Krzanich called him a few weeks ago to say he wanted to meet to make a big announcement.
