The Downside of Protectionism: How Solar Tariffs Backfired

In this episode of The Buzz on Business, we dive into the consequences of the Trump Administration's tariffs on solar panels imported from China. Promoted as a strategy to boost domestic manufacturing, these tariffs ended up being an economic misstep that hurt the very industry they aimed to protect. We break down the data, explore the broader implications of protectionism, and discuss why these tariffs fell short of their intended goals.
