Biden Vetoes Bipartisan Bill Requiring Tariffs On Chinese Solar Panels

Has anyone in Congress considered investigating Biden’s links to China and Chinese companies to see why he’s so excited to exempt them from tariffs?

Biden vetoes bipartisan bill protecting US solar panel makers from Chinese competition

President Biden vetoed a bipartisan resolution Tuesday 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 — which recently passed the House and Senate with Democratic support — “bets against American innovation.” Last year, Biden implemented the 24-month moratorium on the enforcement of solar panel anti-circumvention tariffs designed to protect U.S. companies, a move the White House said would facilitate investment in domestic solar panel production capabilities.

“Passage of this resolution bets against American innovation,” Biden said in a statement Tuesday. “It would undermine these efforts and create deep uncertainty for American businesses and workers in the solar industry. Therefore, I am vetoing this resolution.”

How is allowing Chinese companies, back by and even owned by the Chinese government, dumping underpriced solar panels in the U.S. good for American companies? Especially when those companies have attempted to circumvent the tariffs by intentionally routing them through other countries? Biden failed to explain that.

“I am disappointed that President Biden vetoed this important legislation,” Kildee said Tuesday. “Failing to stand up to those who engage in unfair trade practices hurts American workers and manufacturers. Our workers and businesses will never be able to compete globally unless we hold those who violate U.S. trade laws accountable.”

“The president’s position, and today’s veto, fails to hold China accountable and hurts American workers,” the Democratic lawmaker continued. “Congress passed this bipartisan resolution with strong support from Republicans and Democrats. Now that the president has vetoed this bill, Congress should once again vote to override today’s veto without delay.”

Congress should be holding a vote today on this. China controls 80% of the market, and are selling them almost like loss-leaders: well below value, without expecting consumers to purchase other products at regular value. And many are just not that great of quality. American companies can’t compete with sub-priced trash being dumped. Who’s getting a payoff, Joe? Which family member is the payoff being routed through? It’s another slap in the face of the American worker. You can’t have innovation without investment money. He killed the incentive for investors to put money into American innovation and manufacturing. He favored China because he gets money from them.
