Canadian manufacturers of solar energy cells have sued the US government claiming proposed tariffs on their products will cause them immediate and severe injury. The Trump administration wants to impose 30% penalties on imports of the products. While the measure exempts a number of emerging economies, it imposes limits on their solar exports. In response, Canada has announced that it is imposing retaliatory tariffs.
