Why Biden's China tariffs could hurt his climate agenda

As President Biden strives to prove his pro-manufacturing and anti-China credentials ahead of his likely election rematch with former President Trump, his far-reaching climate agenda could pay a price. 

Biden this past week hiked tariffs on electric vehicles, solar panels and battery technologies — key tools for fighting global warming that all have significant ties to China. 

The moves come as Trump has repeatedly bashed Biden’s climate goals as bad for workers in key swing states ahead of the November election.
