Biden's Solar Tariff Vetoes

President Biden vetoed a bipartisan resolution passed by Congress that would have reversed his executive action last year ordering the Department of Commerce not to enforce tariffs on Chinese solar panel manufacturers for two years. Biden explained that the legislation "bets against American innovation." The president's executive action in June 2022 came after the Commerce Department said months earlier it would investigate whether Chinese manufacturers were routing solar panels through countries in Southeast Asia to avoid U.S. tariffs. The Commerce Department is expected to release its final findings this month.
