Trump Declares Wind Turbine Imports a Security Threat, Orders 180-Day Trade Talks
US President Donald Trump declared imports of wind turbines and their components a national security threat due to cybersecurity concerns and interference with radar and air traffic systems. The declaration followed a Commerce Department investigation under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act. Instead of imposing immediate tariffs, Trump directed trade officials to negotiate with partners and report back within 180 days. The administration may consider further trade measures later, while noting existing tariffs on related materials and ongoing industry concerns.
