Full Tweet if you're too lazy to click the title lol (it's fine):


I just imposed a series of tariffs on goods made in China:

25% on steel and aluminum,

50% on semiconductors,

100% on EVs,

And 50% on solar panels.

China is determined to dominate these industries.

I'm determined to ensure America leads the world in them.

... Ok then where the FUCK are the solar panels, Joe?

Mostly due to local and municipal governments, like here in Virginia.

Otherwise, it's coming about a snail's pace and IN SPITE of the federal government, not really because of it.

China doesn't sell that much to the US in terms of chips as far as I know. I guess there's stuff like ESP32 chips or something?
