@AnaSwanson and @jimtankersley shine light on China's overcapacity in solar. As I wrote last year, strategic enforcement calls for US tariffs on products incentivized by the IRA while enabling machinery and manufacturing inputs without additional tariffs https://t.co/fVRVQAnscC

Flush with investment, new US factories face a familiar challenge: low-priced imports from China https://t.co/cg6OnWs3ZD

PODCAST: NBR counselor Charles Boustany hosted a discussion on #APEC 2023 with Amb. Robert Holleyman @RHolleyman and Shihoko Goto @GotoEastAsia that addressed questions about collaboration around #digitaltrade and changes in #technology & standards. https://t.co/H1C3lluwra @APEC

Today’s sweeping EO on AI by @POTUS builds on the foundational work done in the @BarackObama Administration re AI https://t.co/EcI8aIszBQ Innovation + attention to real risks = US leadership

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Artificial Intelligence has the potential to change the way we work, learn, and create. I'm glad to see @POTUS Biden signing an executive order on AI designed to encourage innovation while avoiding some of the biggest risks. https://t.co/GFU8KFdKgB

[Alan Davidson @DavidsonNTIA]

AI can bring enormous benefits, but only with responsible innovation will we unleash its full potential. @POTUS Executive Order will bring the full weight of the federal government to bear on promoting responsible AI.

This looks like a “significant win”Agree fully with @AlexReeveGivens as we await further analysis on the AI Executive Order from @CenDemTech

[AlexandraReeveGivens @AlexReeveGivens]

More analysis from @CenDemTech coming soon -- but for consumers & the American public, this looks like a significant win.

Must reading. @evanhalper writes of what can be done in the US to help fix our “shaky energy foundation” resulting from China’s successful strategy to dominate the solar supply chain.

[Evan Halper @evanhalper]

New. US solar manufacturing was on the skids. The Inflation Reduction Act changes everything. Reporting from an unexpected place: Marjorie Taylor Greene country, home of one of the few US mega solar plants… and a lot of rooting for the Act. https://t.co/nGfcmShRuC

As the #bidenadministration hosts a meeting with #IndoPacific trade ministers today with the goal of expanding engagement with Asia, revisit our podcast with Charles Boustany, @wendyscutler, and @RHolleyman on the #IndoPacificEconomicFramework https://t.co/Fi8hsvK4iL

[Scott Moskowitz @scottamoskowitz]

Unfortunately this is accurate. There will likely be no new major solar manufacturing announcements without this critical legislation. https://t.co/IO4JaQdco6

[Fred P. Hochberg @fredhochberg]

.@RHolleyman is spot on... "a robust solar energy industry in the United States Is crucial to the nation's goal of a low-carbon future."

"Failure to establish our own supply chains would be akin to the United States switching from relying on OPEC and Russia for energy to relying on China," writes NBR advisor @RHolleyman. #supplychains #solarpower https://t.co/8Wl63VaNm3

[New York Times Opinion @nytopinion]

“This decision to forgo enforcement might help solar installers in the short term, but it is a significant gamble since it is not accompanied by the essential elements needed to build our domestic solar industry,” writes @RHolleyman. https://t.co/Ia26Hv7Dkg

[Robert Holleyman @RHolleyman]

Thank you for your leadership on clean energy security @RoKhanna

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

This is a must read. It would be a dereliction of duty for this Congress not to pass clean energy funding and solar manufacturing tax credits. ⁦@RHolleyman⁩ is right that we risk becoming dependent on China for our energy future. https://t.co/EDZPyx6ReL

[Robert Holleyman @RHolleyman]

#energysecurity My opinion piece in the NYT. Actions set in motion and on the table will determine whether the US can secure our renewable energy future, build a robust domestic solar industry and reduce major trade vulnerabilities #trade via @NYTOpinion

Thoughtful tribute @MPGoodman88. You words are true. “His legacy will long outlive his tragic end”.

Shinzo Abe deserves credit for saving TPP and working to update & uphold global economic rules; my commentary @csis_econ https://t.co/Eqz9UxYUpo

[Fred P. Hochberg @fredhochberg]

#Inflation and rising prices are kitchen-table issues that all voters understand. Easing import restrictions and reducing #tariffs need to be part of our toolkit to tame inflation. My latest in today's @WSJ on why: https://t.co/b2ED8YASkt

[Matthew P. Goodman @MPGoodman88]

Smart economic statecraft if it works: the Biden Admin bets that a little gov't money can mobilize $200 bil of "quality, sustainable infrastructure" around the world @CSIS_Econ https://t.co/QrxvpTeBdh

Important leadership by the US in the Indo-Pacific. Well done USTR, US Department of Commerce and @POTUS. Much good and necessary work ahead.

[Ambassador Katherine Tai @AmbassadorTai]

The Indo-Pacific Econ Framework @POTUS launched today is a big step toward creating a more connected, resilient & dynamic economy across the region.

We’re thrilled with the enthusiastic support from our 12 initial partners and excited to help our economies grow faster & fairer.

[Robert Holleyman @RHolleyman]

This is the right agreement at the right time. The IPEF allows the US to re-engage with the Indo-Pacific in a way that is politically feasible at home and right sized for the times. @peterbakernyt with our scene setter. More to come #IndoPacificEconomicFramework

[Peter Baker @peterbakernyt]

A dozen nations agreed to join the U.S. in Biden’s new Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, his effort to reassert American influence in the region five years after Trump pulled out of TPP. Among them: India, Japan, Australia, South Korea. @KannoYoungs

Thank you for what you are doing for the nation Ambassador Lu @AmbUNReform

[Ambassador Jeff Bartos @AmbUNReform]

As I represent the U.S. at the #UN for the first time, I’m thinking of my parents who immigrated to this country 65 years ago. And I’m grateful for their sacrifices - and for the opportunities this country has afforded me.
