Re: Tarriffs
Date: 2018-01-23 03:44 pm (UTC)Perhaps there is some secret deal between the EU civil service and the US civil service to take turns imposing tarrifs on Chinese solar panels. We'll ration their exploitation so they can't establish too dominant a global position whilst milking their subsidies on a turn and turn about basis.
If so, well done to the US Department of Commerce for getting some coherent policy by Trump.
One problem for the US tariff policy is that unless Mexico is also imposing tariffs then it just becomes cheaper to make things in Mexico. This seems to be a big problem in the US. I'd chuck already doomed US coal miners under a bus so long as that bus was made in the USA and not Mexico if I were Trump.
