Yet for decades, America has allowed foreign countries to weaken United States producers in the polysilicon sector -- eroding our economic and national security. Today, I am taking action to put a stop to these practices and revitalize the United States polysilicon sector."In light of these findings and the other findings in the Secretary's report, the Secretary recommended a range of actions to adjust imports of polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives so that such imports will not threaten to impair the national security of the United States.

The Secretary also recommended that I impose a 15 percent ad valorem rate of duty on downstream polysilicon derivatives. The Secretary recommended that these two remedies be accompanied by an onshoring program to encourage companies to build new United States polysilicon, ingot, wafer, and cell production facilities."The applicable minimum import prices for imported polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives shall be: $21 per kilogram for polysilicon; $100 per kilogram for polysilicon ingots and wafers; $0.22 per watt for solar cells; and $0.38 per watt for solar modules."

Deployments will start this fall, and the first EVgo Supercharger sites are expected to be operational in the second half of 2026. Consumer demand on the EVgo network has increased over 700% in the last three years, and the addition of Superchargers will continue to accelerate EVgo's network growth. With more than 35 NACS-equipped models anticipated by the end of 2026 and more than 3 million Tesla vehicles already sold in the U.S., this expansion will ensure EVgo continues to lead with NACS.BUY ENERGY FUELS:Roth Capital upgraded Energy Fuelsto Buy from Neutral with an unchanged price target of $16.

It believes the company is "on the cusp" of completing multiple acquisitions that would allow it to control a full mine to magnet supply chain.

Trump Signs Executive Order to Protect Polysilicon Industry

Catch up on the top industries and stocks that were impacted, or were predicted to be impacted, by the comments, actions and policies of President Donald Trump with this daily recap compiled by The Fly.POLYSILICON:The executive orderin part, "Polysilicon is the base material underpinning the security of America's semiconductor and solar-power supply chains.

Options to be discussed include research initiatives, both forward- and backward-looking studies, the sources added. Publicly traded companies that make vaccines include Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, BioNTech, Moderna, Novavax, GSK, AstraZeneca, and Emergent BioSolutions.INTEL STAKE:IntelCFO David Zinsner received a call from a U.S commerce department official last year, who floated the idea of taking a 10% stake in the company, but Zinsner was bluntly told any transaction was not up for negotiation, Michael Acton of The Financial Times, citing an internal Intel memo and sources close to the process. In order for the stake to reach the 10% demanded by President Trump, Intel would need to convert billions in manufacturing grants from the 2022 Chips Act as well as $3.2B worth of contracts from the Department of Defense into equity. While the company's board initially resisted, it eventually acquiesced and the government took its stake, saving the company from a possible break-up. Intel has since pulled in a $5B investment from Nvidiaand a $2B investment from SoftBank. While the alliance with President Trump alone will not be enough, the investment definitely reversed its narrative of decline.
