Warning of damage to the U.S. solar industry, seven U.S. senators have sent a letter to the Obama Administration calling for a negotiated settlement instead of tariffs on imports of Chinese solar photovoltaic (PV) products.
The seven include Senate Finance Subcommittee on International Trade, Customs, and Global Competitiveness Chair Debbie Stabenow (D-Mi) and Committee Member Maria Cantwell (D-Wa). The seven state that leadership from the administration is needed to prepare a long-term settlement.
“We write because the dispute with China over solar goods continues to escalate, and we believe that your leadership is critical to resolving the current situation,” reads the letter. “China continues to demonstrate an unwillingness to settle the dispute until our solar industry presents unified proposals that remove existing trade restrictions.”
