In a recent summit between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, Jim Cramer argued that Nvidia should be allowed to sell artificial intelligence chips in China, despite the company's guidance indicating no revenue from the region due to U.S. export restrictions. Trump remarked that China "chose not to" buy Nvidia chips as they aim to develop their own, while Cramer suggested that keeping Chinese companies reliant on U.S. technology might be more beneficial than pushing them to create competing products.
