众议院议长迈克·约翰逊（R-路易斯安那州）周日表示，他曾警告白宫，放宽对俄罗斯的制裁可能带来“意外后果”。
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Sunday that he warned the White House of “unintended consequences” that could stem from waiving sanctions on Russia.
上周，特朗普总统签署了一项行政命令，放宽了原本计划在由已故参议员林赛·格雷厄姆（R-南卡罗来纳州）倡导并获国会以压倒性两党支持通过的立法套餐中生效的对俄制裁。该举措迅速引发了两党的反弹。
President Trump signed an executive order last week waiving sanctions on Russia that were slated to take effect under a legislative package championed by the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and passed by Congress with overwhelming bipartisan support. The move quickly sparked bipartisan backlash.
当被问及他是否希望放宽关税或放弃该举措时，约翰逊告诉福克斯新闻主持人拉里·库德洛：“国会就在几周前就此问题作出了明确投票，我们明白普京不可信任。”
Asked whether he wants to waive the tariffs or forgo the move, Johnson told Fox News host Larry Kudlow, “Congress voted on this decisively just several weeks ago, and we understand that Putin cannot be trusted.”
“他一次又一次地证明了这一点，”约翰逊说。“所以我昨天与几位对此表示担忧的同事进行了交谈。他们属于有管辖权的委员会，比如情报和外交事务委员会。我昨天没有与总统交谈，因为他和我都在不间断地旅行，日程安排不同。但我告诉白宫团队，我们需要讨论此事，并且我认为应仔细考虑由此可能产生的意外后果。”
“He demonstrates that over and over and over,” Johnson said. “So I did talk to several of my colleagues yesterday who had concerns about that. They’re on committees of jurisdiction, like intelligence and foreign affairs, and I didn’t talk to the president yesterday because he and I are both traveling nonstop and we’re on different schedules. But I told the White House team that we need to talk about it, and I think carefully consider the unintended consequences that may ensue from that.”
约翰逊补充说，他知道“总统正像评估其他事情一样评估此事”。“看，正如你所知，拉里，他有两个主要目标：每天都想让美国更安全，并希望降低每个美国人的生活成本。他总是用创意想法跳出框框思考，并仔细评估这些想法。因此，我认为最终会在这里做出正确的决定，”约翰逊说。与此同时，几位共和党议员迅速抨击特朗普的这一举措。
Johnson added that he knows the “president’s evaluating this as he does everything else.”“Look, he has two major objectives, as you know, Larry. Every day he wants to keep America safe, and he wants to bring down the cost of living for every American. He thinks outside the box with creative ideas all the time, and he carefully evaluates those. So I think the right decision will be made here in the end,” Johnson said. Several GOP lawmakers, meanwhile, were quick to bash Trump’s move.
参议员汤姆·蒂利斯（共和党-北卡罗来纳州）在社交平台上写道：“总统及其顾问对参议院以86比11通过的法律的执行有什么不理解的？这届政府向非法入侵乌克兰、每日屠杀无辜平民的俄罗斯独裁者屈服，简直良心尽失。”众议员唐·贝肯（共和党-内布拉斯加州）在X上写道，总统是在“延长战争，而不是结束它。”特朗普为这一举动辩护，他在Truth Social上发文称，他“正在就俄乌战争的和平进行谈判，且不愿做任何愚蠢的事，把俄罗斯从谈判桌上赶走。”
“What part of enforcing a law passed 86-11 by the Senate does the President and his advisors not understand? It’s unconscionable that this administration is capitulating to a Russian dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine and butchers innocent civilians every single day,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) wrote on the social platform Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) wrote on X that the president is “prolonging the war, not ending it.”Trump has defended the move, writing in a Truth Social post that he is “in the process of negotiating Peace in the war between Russia and Ukraine, and don’t want to do anything that will drive, foolishly, Russia away from the bargaining table.”
