House passes bipartisan bill striking down Biden's Chinese solar handout
Biden's move protecting Chinese solar makers is 'demonstration of weakness from an already spineless administration,' House Majority Whip Tom Emmer tells Fox News Digital
By Thomas Catenacci | Fox News The House voted Friday morning in favor of striking down President Biden's action last year which allows Chinese solar panel manufacturers to avoid Obama-era tariffs.
In a 221-202 vote, the House approved the resolution with 209 Republicans and 12 Democrats voting in favor. A bipartisan group of lawmakers led by Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., and joined by Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Mich., first introduced the resolution in January, arguing tariffs were necessary to protect the fledgling U.S. solar industry which is dwarfed by Chinese industry.
"Joe Biden’s decision to protect Communist China’s solar manufacturers from U.S. tariffs is another demonstration of weakness from an already spineless administration," House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., told Fox News Digital.
"House Republicans are continuing to lead where the White House has failed in holding China accountable by working across the aisle to nullify this absurd rule," he continued.
