President Donald Trump has determined that imports of wind turbines and their components threaten national security, but he has not imposed tariffs on them. Instead, he ordered US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to consult with trading partners and report back within 180 days. The action rests on a Commerce Department investigation under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, according to The Epoch Times. The Epoch Times says possible future sanctions could follow the talks, while the other outlets describe the tariff decision as deferred or not yet made.
