House fails to override Biden veto of solar tariff resolution

Source: Politico

House lawmakers failed to garner enough support Wednesday to override President Joe Biden’s veto of a measure that would have rescinded his two-year moratorium on tariffs for imports of solar equipment from four Southeast Asian countries.

The House voted 214-205 on Wednesday, falling short of the two-thirds majority required to override Biden’s veto of the resolution, H.J. Res. 39 (118). Eight Democrats voted in favor of the veto override and eight Republicans voted against.

“Now is not the time to undermine our efforts in producing a robust supply chain in solar,” said Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.), ranking member of the Ways and Means trade subcommittee, in floor remarks Wednesday.

Blumenauer had urged his colleagues to reject the push to override the veto, arguing Biden’s two-year pause gives the U.S. solar industry time to “reorient and to catch up.”

another manufactured monetary crisis, not to mention everything good being gobbled up by the untouchable shadow budget and government of the Pentagon.

No one forced business to go to a nation where production was more monetarily sensible! Now so many industries need to be subsidized….socialism!?… to begin to catch up. Still some won’t admit the history, it’s not just the history of slavery trying to be forgotten.

Not to mention keeping the place of production near the place of most consumption, the East, is brain dead logic.
