We recently published a list of Jim Cramer Says I’m With Trump & Discusses These 12 Stocks. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Palo Alto Networks Inc (NASDAQ:PANW) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discusses.
In a recent appearance on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street, Jim Cramer commented that President Trump might be lenient towards major American companies when it came to tariffs. Tariffs on foreign manufactured goods threaten American firms as well since their operations are located overseas. “I think the President is being a little more responsive to great American companies,” he said. Among these companies, Cramer wondered why should the firm that sells the iPhone have to pay considering that it is investing millions in US jobs.
Another hot topic currently in the technology and semiconductor industry is AI chip sanctions. These rules prevent AI GPUs from being sold unrestricted to most countries in the world. Commenting on the rules, Cramer commented:
“And by the way the big thing that’s on the table is the diffusion, is this ridiculous stuff that Biden put through. In the last week on Saturday night. A Saturday night special, we should call that.”
He went on to add that he hoped that the rules were reversed because “it was so selective what countries they picked that could get, the 18 countries. It made no sense.”
As for the tariffs, Cramer hasn’t held back in supporting Trump but maintained that the President should consider a lighter approach in his announcements. He kept the view this time around as he remarked:
“I’m going with the Trump view. And I think the President’s going to be very level headed about the companies, and countries, that play ball. I mean, you know you think I mean, Hyundai I had to that. Korea’s gotten a free ride. I’m waiting for when Mercedes, Volkswagen, and Beamer have to pay the price. Because they’ve had a real free ride in our country.”
“David, we’re a free trader. And everyone has abused us,” Cramer remarked to co-host David Faber.
