前副总统彭斯周日呼吁总统特朗普恢复对俄罗斯的制裁，并谴责了他与普京总统最近达成的柴油协议。
Former Vice President Pence on Sunday called for President Trump to restore sanctions on Russia and condemned his recent diesel agreement with President Vladimir Putin.
“特朗普总统在普京继续对乌克兰发动残酷侵略战争的情况下，决定免除对俄罗斯的制裁，这玷污了已故参议员林赛·格雷厄姆的遗产，显然也不符合美国的国家利益，应该予以撤销，”前副总统在社交平台的一篇帖子中写道。“普京是战争罪犯，只懂得力量。免除格雷厄姆法案对俄罗斯的制裁，在需要美国力量的时刻传递了软弱的信号。现在是时候像我们在特朗普第一届政府时期那样，坚决抵御俄罗斯的侵略了。”他补充道。
“President Trump’s decision to waive sanctions against Russia as Putin continues his brutal war of aggression against Ukraine dishonors the legacy of the late Senator Lindsey Graham and is decidedly not in the national interests of the United States and should be reversed,” the former vice president wrote in a post on the social platform“Putin is a war criminal and only understands strength. Waiving Graham Act sanctions on Russia signals weakness at a moment that demands American strength. Now is the time to stand strong against Russian aggression, just as we did during the years of the first Trump Administration,” he added.
周五，特朗普签署了一项行政命令，免除《2026年林赛·O·格雷厄姆制裁俄罗斯和伊朗法案》中的特定制裁条款，该立法套装旨在施压俄罗斯结束其多年对乌克兰的战争。
On Friday, Trump signed an executive order waiving specific sanctions within the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, a legislation package designed to pressure Russia into ending its yearslong war against Ukraine.
特朗普本月早些时候在与普京通话后宣布，他打算解除对俄罗斯的制裁，以允许30万公吨俄罗斯石油供应美国和全球经济。
The president announced earlier this month his intention to lift sanctions on Russia following a conversation with Putin, allowing 300,000 tons of Russian oil to supply the U.S. and global economies.
乌克兰总统泽连斯基称该决定为“对普京的礼物”，此举引发了强烈反弹。
The decision, which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called “gifts to Putin,” has been met with intense backlash. .
“这个肮脏的交易只会助长和纵容同样的普京——他正在帮助伊朗人瞄准并试图杀害中东的美军，并且非法且残忍地入侵了我们的盟友乌克兰，”参议院少数党领袖舒默（民主党-纽约州）在X平台上对该 announcement 作出回应时写道。
“This filthy deal will only aid and abet the same Putin who is helping the Iranians to target and try to kill American troops in the Middle East and who illegally and viciously invaded our ally Ukraine,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) wrote on X in response to the announcement.
共和党人也对此表示批评。周四，五名众议院共和党议员与民主党同僚一起呼吁特朗普取消该协议。但特朗普及其政府其他官员尚未向党内批评者屈服。能源部长克里斯·赖特周日为总统的决定进行了辩护。
Republicans have also criticized it. On Thursday, five House GOP lawmakers joined Democratic colleagues in calling for Trump to cancel the deal. But the president and other Trump administration officials have not yet yielded to critical members of their party. Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Sunday defended the president’s decision.
“这只是一根胡萝卜，旨在试图结束战争，”赖特在接受ABC新闻《本周》节目采访时说。“这对俄罗斯来说不是经济生命线。”
“This is a carrot to try to end a war,” Wright said in an interview on ABC News’s “This Week.”“It’s not an economic lifeline for Russia.”
