The Senate voted 56-41 to block a move by President Biden's administration to temporarily remove tariffs on solar materials imported from Southeast Asia
The Senate voted 56-41 on Wednesday to block a move by the Biden administration to temporarily remove tariffs on solar materials imported from Southeast Asia, sending the measure to President Biden’s desk for an expected veto.
The fight over the tariffs illustrates how deeply Chinese companies are enmeshed in the kind of green-energy manufacturing that is essential to President Biden’s climate goals. It pits the administration’s climate-policy goals against many Democrats’ desire to protect U.S. manufacturers from Chinese competition.
The administration granted the tariff exemption in June, while the Commerce Department’s probe was under way. The investigation prompted U.S. buyers to pause imports from those countries, worried that they could be subject to retroactive tariffs. Sen. Jacky Rosen , a supporter of the administration’s position, said its tariff pause would protect the country’s solar industry.
