Trump says wind turbine imports threaten national security
Trump directs trade officials to negotiate with suppliers after a Commerce Department probe found imported turbines threaten national security.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump declared wind turbine and component imports a national security threat, directing his administration to pursue international agreements rather than imposing immediate tariffs.
- Following a Section 232 investigation launched in August 2025, the Commerce Department found cybersecurity vulnerabilities, radar interference, and excessive reliance on foreign-made equipment posed national security risks.
- Trump also cited wind energy's intermittent nature, arguing it is unreliable and diverts the United States electrical grid from more stable energy sources.
- Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer must "jointly pursue negotiation of agreements or continue any current negotiations of agreements" and report back within 180 days.
- While no new tariffs were imposed, the White House proclamation notes that "additional trade measures, including tariffs, could be considered later" depending on negotiation outcomes.
