Trump orders wind-turbine import negotiations under Section 232, no new tariff

The proclamation says the Commerce Secretary found wind turbines and their components "are being imported into the United States under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security". It directs the Commerce Secretary and the Trade Representative to "jointly pursue or continue pursuing negotiations of agreements" and to give at least one update "within 180 days". It states that "Nothing in this proclamation modifies the tariffs imposed" under earlier Section 232 proclamations. It sets no new tariff rate.
