House Votes to Restore Tariffs on Solar Panels, Setting Up Showdown With Biden

  • The House of Representatives voted to reinstate tariffs on solar panel imports that President Biden had suspended.

  • The legislation heads to the Senate, where it is likely to pass despite Democratic control.
  • Biden has vowed to veto the measure if it reaches his desk.
  • The vote highlights a rift between lawmakers who want to support renewable energy and those determined to take a hard line on China.
