The article reports that commerce Secretary howard Lutnick revealed the Pentagon is considering acquiring equity stakes in defense contractors<\/a> that already receive considerable business<\/a> from the U.S. government. Lutnick noted, for example, that lockheed Martin derives 97% of its revenue from the U.S. government, effectively making it an extension of the government. He highlighted ongoing discussions on how to finance munitions acquisitions more effectively, implying current methods resemble a “giveaway.” This consideration follows the government’s recent purchase<\/a> of a 10% stake in Intel after the company received $9 billion under the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act. Former President Donald Trump supports this approach and has suggested that similar investments in other companies may occur soon. The Pentagon and Lockheed martin did not provide comments for the article.
