HILLSBORO, Ore.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, President Donald Trump issued a determination on remedies in the
Section 201 Global Safeguards trade case on behalf of the U.S. solar
photovoltaic cell and panel manufacturing industry. SolarWorld Americas

“SolarWorld Americas appreciates the hard work of President Trump, the
U.S. Trade Representative, and this administration in reaching today’s
decision, and the President’s recognition of the importance of solar
manufacturing to America’s economic and national security. We are still
reviewing these remedies, and are hopeful they will be enough to address
the import surge and to rebuild solar manufacturing in the United
States. We will work with the U.S. Government to implement these
remedies, including future negotiations, in the strongest way possible
to benefit solar manufacturing and its thousands of American workers to
