Biden to exempt tariffs on solar panels from Southeast Asian countries for 24 months -source
2022-06-06
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] U.S. President Joe Biden will issue a proclamation on Monday that will allow solar panels to be imported to the United States from Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia and Vietnam without risk of tariffs for a 24-month period, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.

The action comes amid concern about the impact of the U.S. Commerce Department's months-long investigation into whether imports of solar panels from the four Southeast Asian nations are circumventing tariffs on goods made in China.
We’ll assume that’s a yes, then. Goody.

#3  Obviously a nod to his 'Chardonnay' voting crowd. You think the people now being hit by high energy bills could afford these, just like that 60K electric car.

Federally funded Sales Tax holidays at Walmart, Target, and Home Depot to follow.
