ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Two U.S. senators from western states joined the legislative fight Thursday to repeal President Donald Trump's tariffs on imported solar panels, saying the higher taxes on foreign producers are jeopardizing jobs in the U.S.


Republican Dean Heller of Nevada and Democrat Martin Heinrich of New Mexico introduced a measure that calls for duties and tariffs for solar cells to revert to previous rates and to allow for companies affected by the tariffs hike to seek reimbursements.

The senators contend that the higher tariffs are stifling investment in the domestic solar market.

1. If the whole world moves against him on a number of issues

2. The revolt starts...people are starting to step up and denounce these ...

unilaterally imposed tariffs by a moron who refuses to disclose his multiple conflicts of interest, his tax returns, and the like. Why listen to someone like this who isn't even open w/ his own finances?

Perhaps this will evolve into more of a substantial backlash in Congress finally, when these guys/gals in Congress finally realize that rump doesn't have their interests in mind (only about rump and his pet grievances).
