Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday delaying the imposition of tariffs on wind turbines and their components. Citing national security grounds, the president directed the United States Trade Representative and the Secretary of Commerce to consult with trading partners and report their findings within 180 days.
The order acknowledges that certain wind turbine components are already subject to existing tariffs on aluminum, copper, and steel. During the 180-day window, Trump instructed officials to pursue or continue negotiations for agreements to address these specific imports.
