The Senate passed legislation Wednesday to reimpose Chinese solar tariffs suspended by the Biden administration, delivering the latest bipartisan rebuke to President Biden’s regulatory agenda.
The bipartisan measure, passed 56-41 with the support of nine Democrats, cleared the House last week and now heads to Mr. Biden’s desk. He has vowed to issue a veto, which would be the third of his presidency.
The Democrats who crossed the aisle to vote with GOP senators included Energy Committee Chairman Joe Manchin III of West Virginia, Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden of Oregon, Banking Committee Chairman Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Bob Casey and John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters of Michigan, Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, and Jon Tester of Montana.
But climate hawks are fearful the tariffs would kneecap the domestic solar industry and Mr. Biden’s clean-energy agenda. Mr. Biden froze solar tariffs last year until June 2024 against four Southeast Asian countries — Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam — that produce 80% of the panels used in U.S. projects.
Clean energy and solar advocacy groups have also sounded the alarm, saying the tariff pause gives domestic production time to benefit from billions in federal funding appropriated for solar energy by Congress under Mr. Biden.
