If elected, the Democrat is likely to face a trade-off over manufacturing jobs and economic independence from China
very US presidential election is consequential but American voters face an unusually weighty decision in 2024. The outcome will have implications for foreign policy, social policy, and the integrity of the political system. But none of its consequences will be more profound or far-reaching than on global efforts to combat the climate crisis.the Green New Deal, an ambitious congressional plan for tackling the climate crisis, while serving in the Senate in 2019.
Reversing that step would then require approval by the US Senate. And Senate approval cannot be taken for granted, given the ample representation in that chamber of oil- and gas-rich states. Significantly, China agreed for the first time to add non-carbon greenhouse gases – including methane, nitrous oxide and hydrofluorocarbons used in the manufacture of air conditioners – to its prior agreements.
Various rationales are offered for these tariffs. They secure domestic supply chains. They offset unfair Chinese subsidies and dumping. They give US factories time to move down their production learning curves and cut costs in key industries that would otherwise be dominated by a strategic rival. They hold out hope of creating additional manufacturing jobs.
