US lawmakers press for broader restraints on China solar imports

Eight US lawmakers urged President Barack Obama’s administration on Wednesday to broaden the scope of proposed duties on billions of dollars of solar panels from China, as the US government nears its final rulings in the case.

The lawmakers, led by Oregon Democratic Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, criticised an earlier Commerce Department decision to exclude Chinese solar panels containing cells made in another country from preliminary duties of more than 30 per cent.
