We don't have to guess what the most likely outcome might have been, someone else was in office 7 months ago so we can just look at what they were doing.

Yes, moving away from China
But not at the expense of building renewable energy, as is the current administration's policy.
Were they "cancelling in-progress solar and wind projects and claiming the feds will never approve another green energy plant"? That's the "likely outcome" we're discussing.
Yes, the US has been scaling back on China-sourced renewable energy supply chains since 2023 at least, with tariffs and by removing incentives

Not exactly your wording at that time, but my point still stands that the outcome was going to be the same because the imports were heavily skewed towards China. This has all been in motion before this current admin

Not, one assumes, from renewables.
