Kaptur Statement on Solar Tariff Suspension, Invocation of Defense Production Act

Statement

"China's long history of dumping and tariff evasion demands strict scrutiny and appropriate penalties," said Rep. Kaptur. "While I welcome the Administration's focus on boosting domestic manufacturing of critical solar components -- any effort that further tilts the playing field in favor of China is wrong for the American workers who are fed up with predatory trade practices. We have seen China play this game before on everything from steel to solar. We must invest in the American companies that are working to deliver an affordable, reliable, and secure energy future."
