The U.S. will impose duties on solar equipment and washing machines made abroad
This is not necessarily a move against renewables as a whole.<p>>"The duties are lower than the 35 percent rate the U.S. International Trade Commission recommended in October after finding that imported panels were harming American manufacturers. The idea behind the tariffs is to raise the costs of cheap imports, particularly from Asia, and level the playing field for those who manufacture the parts domestically."<p>This is largely in support of American manufacturing. Of course it will harm the solar industry through increased prices, but Trump here is balancing an interest in solar with an interest in American industry.
