The rest of the world will get cheaper solar panels and EVs, that's quite nice.

Cheap panels are tanking European competitors, but it's probably too late to intervene at this point. Can't compete with work camps and cheap slave labor.

There are parts of the world not EU and US. They would all benefit from cheap panels.

But EU and US are not really important: https://www.statista.com/statistics/668749/regional-distribution-of-solar-pv-module-manufacturing/ they account only for few percent of solar photovoltaic module production.
