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 Inc., the largest U.S. crystalline-silicon cell
and panel producer for more than 42 years, was a co-petitioner with
Suniva Inc. in that case. Juergen Stein, CEO and President of
SolarWorld Americas Inc., today responded to President Trump’s
decision with the following statement:
“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 ensure that
U.S. solar manufacturing is world-class competitive for the long
term.”
