US President Biden will veto congressional efforts to overturn his policy to waive solar tariffs on four Southeast Asian nations for two years, White House officials told Reuters

from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam in an effort to create a "bridge" while U.S. manufacturing ramped up.on the solar panels from the four countries, reversing Biden's suspension. That legislation is expected to come up for a full vote in the House.

"This legislation would sabotage U.S. energy security. It would undermine our momentum in creating a massive new domestic industry. It would sideline workers who are fired up to build these projects and operate them across the country," Ali Zaidi, Biden's national climate adviser, told Reuters. The United States is on track to increase domestic solar panel manufacturing capacity 8-fold by the end of 2024, another official said.
