The US hikes tariffs on solar products from Asia

The increased tariffs on solar cells from Southeast Asian countries—Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam—have made them "unmarketable" in the U.S., following Trump's trade war with China. These countries account for over three-quarters of imported modules last year, raising concerns about trade practices and affecting domestic companies. While some seek investigation by the Commerce Department, renewable energy project developers fear higher costs. Cambodia faces the highest tariffs at 3521%, with other regions experiencing varying rates, as the U.S. International Trade Commission must finalize the tariffs in June.
