Biden rejects bipartisan effort to reinstate solar panel tariffs.

President Biden has vetoed a Congressional Review Act resolution that would have undone his two-year moratorium on solar tariffs. Biden presented the tariff suspension as essential to achieving the renewable energy goals of the Inflation Reduction Act. The resolution passed in early May with bipartisan support in a 56-41 vote in the Senate. Congress has also passed CRA resolutions to undo administration rules on green investing and truck emissions, both of which Biden also vetoed.

Biden Vetoes Solar Tariff Resolutions, Protecting Chinese and SE Asian Imports.

President Biden vetoed a resolution that would have restored tariffs on solar panels imported from certain Southeast Asian countries, saying that the resolution would undermine his administration’s efforts to create a strong domestic solar supply chain. The resolution, which passed the House and Senate in bipartisan votes, would have undone a Department of Commerce rule that suspended tariffs on solar panels imported from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. Biden argued that the resolution would harm the development of the solar industry in the United States.

Senate and Biden clash over solar panel tariffs.

The Senate has passed a resolution to rescind the Biden administration's two-year pause on tariffs for imports of solar equipment from four Southeast Asian countries. The resolution would use the Congressional Review Act to rescind Biden's moratorium on new tariffs for solar cells and modules from Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. The vote sends the resolution to President Joe Biden's desk, where it faces a certain veto. The resolution resurfaced long-running tensions on the Commerce probe.

US House votes on multiple bills related to solar tariffs and Chinese solar handouts.

The US House of Representatives has voted to revoke President Joe Biden's two-year suspension on imposing new tariffs on solar equipment imports from four Southeast Asian countries that are suspected of acting as conduits for Chinese products. The bipartisan support raises the stakes ahead of a Senate vote on the measure, where several Democrats have already said they would vote to rescind Biden’s two-year pause that was announced last June. The White House said Biden intends to veto the resolution if it reaches his desk, and Friday’s vote in the House showed its supporters were likely to fall short of the two-thirds majority necessary to overturn a veto.

US House repeals Biden's solar tariff waiver.

The US House of Representatives has voted to repeal President Joe Biden's suspension of tariffs on solar panels from four Southeast Asian nations, a move that could stall clean energy development. The bipartisan effort to restore tariffs on solar imports from Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam is aimed at boosting domestic solar manufacturers who say they cannot compete with cheap products made overseas. The White House has warned that it opposes the legislation, saying in a statement that Biden would veto it.
