Cheap imports hurt US solar industry

The 4-0 vote by the International Trade Commission sets up a two-month review period in which the panel must recommend a remedy to President Donald Trump, with a final decision on tariffs expected in January.

White House spokeswoman Natalie Strom said Trump "will examine the facts and make a determination that reflects the best interests of the United States.
