Re: | Baucus-Tester Statement on Resolving U.S.-China Solar Trade Dispute |
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and Senator Jon Tester (D-Mont.) today released the following statement on a new proposal from the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) to resolve the ongoing trade dispute between the U.S. and China over solar energy products:
“We applaud the efforts of the Solar Energy Industries Association to resolve the solar dispute between the U.S. and China. Without a doubt, this dispute has had a harmful effect on jobs in the U.S. and undercut our competitiveness in critical high-tech industries. The best outcome for workers, manufacturers and consumers in Montana and across the country is to negotiate a settlement and bring the dispute to a close. We are ready to work with all parties to resolve this important matter.”
