The goal is to crash the market, buy stocks in solar for dirt cheap then reverse tariffs, rinse and repeat.

Or the goal is to prop up the market for fossil fuels by destroying competition.

The US Government is not trying to protect the US solar industry. It is trying to destroy it for the benefit of fossil fuel companies, and keeping people from buying cheap Chinese solar panels is just to close a potential loophole in that plan.
