Trump rolls out trade measures to counter China on solar and chips, slaps 15% tariff on polysilicon

The White House imposed a 15% tariff on polysilicon products on Thursday to counter China. These measures, starting December 4, set price floors for solar and chip materials. A Corning spokesperson said, "Today's decision encourages continued investment in U.S. capacity and supports long-term U.S. competitiveness," to boost domestic supply chains.
