Full Tweet if you're too lazy to click the title lol (it's fine):


I just imposed a series of tariffs on goods made in China:

25% on steel and aluminum,

50% on semiconductors,

100% on EVs,

And 50% on solar panels.

China is determined to dominate these industries.

I'm determined to ensure America leads the world in them.

... Ok then where the FUCK are the solar panels, Joe?

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 28 points 9 months ago

Mostly due to local and municipal governments, like here in Virginia.

Otherwise, it's coming about a snail's pace and IN SPITE of the federal government, not really because of it.

China doesn't sell that much to the US in terms of chips as far as I know. I guess there's stuff like ESP32 chips or something?
