Trump’s tariffs could hurt the US renewable energy industry

President Donald Trump’s new sweeping tariffs could hurt U.S solar energy developers while industries that import critical minerals appear to be spared – at least for now. POLITICO’s Kelsey Tamborrino and James Bikales break down how Trump’s tariffs may impact the US solar industry and the critical mineral industry, which are both key to America’s renewable energy future. Plus, the Senate Parliamentarian has told lawmakers she does not believe EPA waivers that allow California to set nation-leading emissions standards can be revoked through the Congressional Review Act.
