U.S. Proposes MASSIVE 3,500% Tariffs on Southeast Asian Solar Panels
In a bold move, the U.S. is pushing to slap tariffs as high as 3,500% on solar panels imported from Southeast Asia, according to CNN Business. The goal? Crack down on Chinese companies skirting tariffs by routing production through countries like Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand.
But here’s the catch:
Prices could spike, green energy projects could stall, and working families may pay the price.
JSA2026 Campaign Response:
“We support standing up to China. But tariffs without a full domestic production plan just punish consumers. If New York is serious about energy independence, we need local solar manufacturing, not just headline tariffs.”
This is why the JSA2026 platform calls for:
Special Economic Zones for green tech in NY
Local tax breaks for energy startups
Retraining programs for fossil fuel workers into clean tech
Tariffs alone don’t fix the system. Production does.
