Democratic and Republican lawmakers are working to pass time-sensitive legislation that would roll back a rule allowing Chinese solar panel makers to skirt U.S. trade laws.
Energy expert Alex Epstein breaks down alternative solutions for transporting chemicals amid Ohio's derailment disaster on 'Unfiltered with Dan Bongino.'
"Even after the U.S. Department of Commerce determined in an investigation that solar panels imported from Southeast Asian countries were circumventing tariffs on Chinese-made solar components, the Biden Administration continued to put American manufacturers last by keeping in place a two-year tariff exemption for these solar panels," Rep. Bob Latta, R-Ohio, told Fox News Digital.
In January, Latta cosponsored bipartisan legislation introduced by Reps. Dan Kildee, D-Mich., and Bill Posey, R-Fla., that would annul Biden's executive order and ensure foreign companies that violate U.S. trade law are held accountable. Companion legislation was also introduced in the Senate and is believed to have significant bipartisan support.The legislation utilizes the Congressional Review Act , a law dating back nearly three decades that allows Congress to revoke federal rules.
Despite its bipartisan support, though, it is unclear how Republican leadership plans to move forward with the legislation. Under House rules, the bill must be released by the Ways and Means Committee, but the panel has yet to move ahead advancing the legislation. Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., didn't respond to a request for comment.
