Companies U.S. House of Representatives FollowApril 28 (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives on Friday voted to repeal President Joe Biden's suspension of tariffs on solar panels from four Southeast Asian nations, a move solar project builders say would stall clean energy development.
The White House has warned that it opposes the legislation, saying in a statement that Biden would veto it.
Panels from the four nations, which host manufacturing facilities owned by Chinese companies, account for about 80% of U.S. supplies.
Solar project developers say tariffs will increase their costs and slow development of clean power facilities needed to combat climate change.
Months later, the department issued a preliminary decision to impose tariffs on solar products Chinese companies make in those countries that match current tariffs on goods they make in China.
