President Donald Trump Imposes 30% Tariffs on Solar Panels

In the biggest blow he’s dealt to the renewable energy industry yet,
President Donald Trump decided on Monday to slap tariffs on imported
solar panels.
The U.S. will impose duties of as much as 30 percent
on solar equipment made abroad, a move that threatens to handicap a $28
billion industry that relies on parts made abroad for 80 percent of its
supply.
