#2Is this some weird nationalization of industry?
Or is this pay to play and every other company has to abide by chip restrictions?

#3Trump is thinking like a business man... ordinarily he would pocket the 15% himself (this is after all the same man who said the entire Gaza should be his personal property) but realizes the country is not yet at the point where that would be seen as normal and acceptable.

The country's money is his money. For example: That plane that got 'gifted' to him is getting expensive retrofits on the taxpayer's dime, and he gets to keep the plane after he leaves office.
