Trump Administration Weighs 90-120 Day Delay on Solar Tariffs

The people who work for the President of the United States are thinking about waiting a little longer before adding a new tax on solar power parts.

This kind of tax is called a tariff.

They might wait 90 to 120 days before starting it.

The tax would be at least 15 percent of the price.

It would apply to special materials used to make solar panels.

Solar wafers, solar cells, and finished panels would also be included.

A news company called Bloomberg learned about this plan from people who know about the talks.

These people did not give their names.

Some of them said it is a last-minute push to delay the new taxes.

Waiting more time could give the government extra time to decide what to do.
