I feel sorry for those who are in solar panel business, especially the small businesses who will go under because of this.

So we made our own solar panels?

Yes, believe it or not he did. Amazing isn't it? Next I guess they'll be stealing our air. Or worse, our thoughts!

And washing machines.

“U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said the president agreed to levy a 20 percent tariff on washing machines and a 30 percent tariff on solar cells and modules in the Section 201 case.”

Exactly, Installers far out number the producers. It's a hit at renewable energy proposed under the guise of protecting US jobs.

Well he also put a tariff on washing machines. Korean manufacturer Samsung opened a new $380-million home appliance hub in Newberry SC earlier this month. The production plant promises to bring hundreds of new jobs to the area, but Samsung has warned that the new tariffs on washing machines could threaten their American expansion efforts.
