US weighs polysilicon price floor, tariffs to counter China in solar and chips

The Trump administration is planning to implement price floors and tariffs on polysilicon to counter China's control over solar and chip supply chains. While these measures aim to boost US polysilicon production, they may lead to increased costs for the semiconductor and solar industries. The US government is weighing these strategic options to secure critical supply chains and reduce dependence on Chinese imports for essential materials used in high-tech manufacturing and renewable energy.
