The tariffs under Obama were much more specific as to country of origin, and Chinese manufacturers quickly dodged them by moving. The current tariffs are in essence new in that they apply much more broadly and are not specific to China.

I think perhaps you should have avoided using the phrase "brand new" to refer to tariffs that are not new and have simply been tweaked. Right?

I think it's also cute how you think Trump of all people is so concerned helping out US solar manufacturers given his, y'know, words.
