PALM SPRINGS, Calif. — At a White House meeting focused on the Florida school shooting, President Trump took a brief detour into the world of solar power, bragging that he's brought back domestic manufacturing and that America makes better solar panels than China.
The problem? Those statements aren't supported by facts, experts say.
New plants?
Veering away from remarks on preventing gun violence, the president told a group of governors that his recent import taxes on foreign-made washing machines and solar panels are already having a positive impact. After suggesting the solar tariff has been in place for two months — it's actually been less than three weeks — Trump claimed that American solar manufacturers are "opening up at least five plants."
