evidence: On May 14, 2024, President Joe Biden announced major increases in tariffs on a wide range of Chinese products relating to certain key strategic industries, including solar cells, batteries, battery materials, electric vehicles, semiconductors, steel and aluminum, among other goods. The Biden administration’s move affects industries in which the U.S. has invested huge sums of money and that his administration has targeted for growth, stating that he is "determined to ensure America leads the world in them." A detailed analysis of these tariff-related actions and other ones that the Biden administration has recently taken against China will be addressed in a forthcoming Duane Morris Alert. The Biden administration’s actions are the result of a statutorily required review conducted by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) during the past two years of Section 301 tariffs on a wide range of Chinese goods that were enacted during the Trump administration. Now, not only is the Biden administration keeping the vast majority of Section 301 tariffs in place that Biden criticized during his 2020 presidential candidacy, he has significantly increased the Section 301 tariffs on numerous kinds of Chinese products. [...] Others criticize the move, such as economists who oppose tariffs because they effectively act as a tax on domestic consumers, who will pay the higher prices. Colorado Governor Jared Polis posted on X that "[t]his is horrible news for American consumers and a major setback for clean energy. Others have pushed back against the move by claiming that it hurts Biden’s climate goals.
