U.S. solar manufacturers are considering legal action after President Joe Biden moved to put off new tariffs on solar imports from Southeast Asian countries.

According to the White House’s announcement on June 6, the tariff suspension applied to these imports from  Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, that supply about 80 percent of photovoltaic cells and modules used in the United States, and will be effective for two years.
