共和党国会议员们抨击了唐纳德·特朗普总统免除上个月通过的一项限制俄罗斯能源出口的关税法的决定，认为此举将有助于莫斯科对乌克兰发动战争。
Republican members of Congress blasted President Donald Trump’s decision to waive a tariff law passed last month to restrict Russian energy exports, arguing that the move will help Moscow wage its war on Ukraine.
作者：María Paula Mijares Torres 特朗普政府将此次免除描述为一种便利与俄罗斯就柴油出口达成协议的方式——旨在在中期选举前降低价格——但批评者表示，绕过上个月通过、已故参议员林赛·格雷厄姆倡导的制裁法是不负责任的。
By María Paula Mijares Torres The Trump administration has cast the waiver as a way to facilitate a deal with Russia on diesel exports — aimed at lowering prices ahead of the midterm elections — but critics said it was irresponsible to bypass the sanctions law passed last month that was championed by the late Senator Lindsey Graham.
得克萨斯州共和党参议员、与特朗普关系密切的泰德·克鲁兹表示，政府本应寻找降低燃油成本的其他方式，例如从加拿大进口更多燃油或豁免可再生燃料要求。
Senator Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican closely allied to Trump, said the administration should have found other ways to lower fuel costs, such as importing more from Canada or waiving renewable-fuel requirements.
“我希望总统没有这么做，我认为这是个错误，”克鲁兹周六在福克斯新闻上说，指的是特朗普周五晚间发布的免除格雷厄姆法的行政命令。“不幸的是，目前的做法只是让普京受益。” 特朗普暂停新制裁俄罗斯能源以缓解柴油成本 至少八名共和党参议员，以及众议院中的几位同僚，已公开反对特朗普与俄罗斯的柴油协议或制裁豁免。
“I wish the president hadn’t done it, I think it was a mistake,” Cruz said Saturday on Fox News, referring to Trump’s executive order late Friday waiving the Graham law. “The current path, unfortunately, just benefits Putin.”Trump Halts New Russia Energy Sanctions to Ease Diesel Costs At least eight Republican senators, along with several of their House counterparts, have spoken out against Trump’s diesel deal with Russia or the sanctions waiver.
“参议院以86比11通过的法律，总统及其顾问到底哪部分不理解？”北卡罗来纳州共和党参议员、将在任期结束时退休的汤姆·蒂利斯周六在社交媒体上写道。他说，特朗普可以通过解决伊朗问题来降低能源价格，而不是“为弗拉基米尔·普京做好事”。
“What part of enforcing a law passed 86-11 by the Senate does the President and his advisors not understand?”Senator Thom Tillis, a North Carolina Republican retiring at the end of his term, wrote Saturday in a social media post He said Trump could lower energy prices by addressing Iran rather than “doing a solid for Vladimir Putin.”A bipartisan group of 12 senators sent Trump a letter earlier this week urging him to rescind his diesel deal with Russia and enforce the Graham law. The Republican signatories included Tillis, Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, Susan Collins, Alan Armstrong and Lisa Murkowski.
一跨党派的12名参议员本周早些时候给特朗普写信，敦促他撤销与俄罗斯的柴油协议并执行格雷厄姆法。共和党签署者包括蒂利斯、米奇·麦康奈尔、约翰·科宁、苏珊·柯林斯、艾伦·阿姆斯特朗和丽莎·穆尔科斯基。
“Allowing Russian-origin diesel into global markets will offer limited to no relief to Americans,” the senators wrote in the arguing the revenue would help finance Russia’s war in Ukraine and deepen Moscow’s cooperation with China, Iran and North Korea.
参议员们在论证中写道：“允许俄罗斯原产柴油进入全球市场，对美国人而言只能提供有限的缓解，甚至毫无缓解作用。”他们指出，这笔收入将有助于为俄罗斯在乌克兰的战争提供资金，并加深莫斯科与中国、伊朗和朝鲜的合作。
While Ukraine has broad support on Capitol Hill, Congress is out of session through the midterm elections, so there’s little prospect of immediate action to block Trump’s diesel deal.
尽管乌克兰在国会山获得广泛支持，但国会已因中期选举休会，因此几乎没有前景立即采取行动阻止特朗普的柴油交易。
His plan to return Russian diesel to US and global markets is expected to have little immediate effect on prices. A sustained resumption of Russian exports by year-end, however, could help shrink global supply deficits, provided Moscow can meet its commitments despite Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries.
特朗普计划将俄罗斯柴油重新引入美国和全球市场，预计对价格将几乎没有立即影响。然而，如果到年底俄罗斯能够持续恢复出口，尽管乌克兰对炼油厂进行无人机袭击，但只要莫斯科能够履行其承诺，这可能有助于缩小全球供应赤字。
Trump Midterms Pitch Undercut as Fuel Prices Near Biden Average Jeanne Shaheen, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, joined with six other senators earlier in the week on a letter opposing the decision, saying Congress “explicitly banned Russian energy imports in 2022 to prevent American dollars from financing Putin’s brutal war against Ukraine.”“President Trump’s decision to allow Russian diesel imports to the US runs directly counter to that law,” Democratic Senators Shaheen, Richard Blumenthal and Ron Wyden, and Republican Senators Collins, Murkowski, Tillis and John Curtis said in a statement Sunday.
特朗普中期选举议程受削弱，因燃油价格接近拜登时期平均水平。参议院外交关系委员会首席民主党议员珍妮·沙赫恩本周早些时候与另外六名参议员联名致信，反对该决定，称国会“在2022年明确禁止俄罗斯能源进口，以防止美国资金资助普京对乌克兰的残酷战争。”沙赫恩、民主党参议员理查德·布卢门撒尔和罗恩·怀登，以及共和党参议员科林斯、穆尔科夫斯基、蒂利斯和约翰·柯蒂斯在周日的声明中表示：“特朗普总统允许俄罗斯柴油进口到美国的决定，直接违背了该法律。”
House lawmakers are also moving against the deal. A group of Democrats and one Republican introduced legislation Friday to block Russian diesel imports, though passage would be difficult in the Republican-controlled Congress and could require overcoming a Trump veto.
众议院议员也在反对该交易。一群民主党人和一名共和党人周五提出立法，以阻止俄罗斯柴油进口，尽管在共和党控制的国会中通过将很困难，且可能需要克服特朗普的否决。
Representative Don Bacon, a retiring Nebraska Republican, cosponsored the bill. Representative Brian Fitzpatrick, a Pennsylvania Republican facing reelection in a contested seat, has separately said he would propose legislation barring purchases of Russian oil.
退休的内布拉斯加州共和党众议员唐·培根共同提出了该法案。面临在竞争激烈选区连任挑战的宾夕法尼亚州共和党众议员布莱恩·菲茨帕特里克则单独表示，他将提出立法，禁止购买俄罗斯石油。
“Many of us won’t fund these things knowing he is propping up a dictator’s invasion and throwing an ally under the bus,” Bacon wrote in a social media Saturday.
“我们很多人不会在明知他正在为独裁者的入侵提供支持、把盟友置于不顾的情况下为这些事情提供资金，”培根在周六的社交媒体上写道。
French Hill, a Republican lawmaker from Arkansas, said he has requested a classified briefing on the rationale behind the decision, arguing the US should be increasing economic pressure on Russia.
来自阿肯色州的共和党议员弗伦奇·希尔表示，他已请求就该决策的依据进行一次机密简报，并主张美国应加大对俄罗斯的经济压力。
Trump Diesel Deal Faces Fresh Challenge in Congress Democrats have almost unanimously opposed Trump’s overtures to Putin. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said in a social media Saturday that “there’s nothing America First” about the new diesel deal and criticized it for giving the Russian economy “life support” while “Americans need relief from skyrocketing prices.”Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also criticized the waiver, saying it could mark the beginning of broader sanctions relief for Moscow.
特朗普柴油交易在国会面临新挑战 民主党人几乎一致反对特朗普对普京的示好。参议院民主党领袖查克·舒默在周六的社交媒体上表示，新柴油交易与“美国优先”毫无关系，并批评该交易在“美国人需要缓解飙涨的价格”之际，为俄罗斯经济提供“生命支持”。乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基也批评了该豁免，称其可能标志着对莫斯科更广泛制裁缓解的开始。
“At the time when the Russians launched such a massive strike against our energy sector, in America, regrettably, a decision was made to completely ignore the Lindsey Graham law,” Zelenskyy wrote Saturday on a social media Tensions between Washington and Kyiv have risen since Trump announced the diesel deal last week. Ukrainian defense officials said this week that connection speeds on Starshield, SpaceX’s military-grade satellite service, had been slowed. A US official said Friday that Trump hadn’t ordered any limits on Ukraine’s access to the satellite technology.
“就在俄罗斯对我们能源部门发动如此大规模打击的时候，在美国，令人遗憾的是，做出了完全无视林赛·格雷厄姆法的决定，”泽连斯基在周六的社交媒体上写道。自特朗普上周宣布柴油交易以来，华盛顿与基辅之间的紧张关系有所升级。乌克兰国防官员本周表示，星盾（Starshield）——SpaceX 的军事级卫星服务——的连接速度已被放慢。一名美国官员周五表示，特朗普并未下达任何限制乌克兰使用该卫星技术的命令。
“A US sanctions blackout, easing pressure on the aggressor, financial rewards for Putin — all of this only encourages him to keep attacking,” Zelenskyy said.
“美国制裁真空、减轻对侵略者的压力、对普京的财务回报——这一切只会鼓励他继续发动攻击，”泽连斯基说。泽连斯基称星链速度限制看似故意所为
