WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump and Intel Corp. Chief Executive Brian Krzanich on Wednesday announced plans for a $7 billion investment in a major manufacturing facility in Arizona.

The announcement was the latest in a series of events by Mr. Trump touting his job-creation efforts, and gave the president an opportunity to reframe his relationship with the high-tech sector after a round of criticism from Silicon Valley over his recent immigration order.

A White House official described the planned Intel facility as “the most advanced semiconductor facility in the world.” It will provide 3,000 high-skill manufacturing jobs, officials said.

Some chips that will be made there will be used in emerging technologies that Intel is seeking growth as its personal computer business matures. Those new areas include 5th generation or 5G networks and drones.

“This will impact a wide spectrum of industries from automotive to health care,” the White House official said.
