几位共和党人对特朗普政府的俄罗斯柴油交易以及特朗普总统认为乌克兰需要新领导人的言论提出了异议。
Several Republicans voiced objections to the Trump administration Russian diesel deal and President Trump’s suggestion that Ukraine needed a new leader.
当被问及该交易时，路易斯安那州共和党参议员约翰·肯尼迪（John Kennedy）周五表示，他支持总统的决定，但他“不支持从普京那里进口它。弗拉基米尔·普京是个屠夫。他是自己人民的屠夫。他也是乌克兰好人民的屠夫。” “他[普京]永远不会成为我们的朋友。所以总统正在尽他所能降低柴油价格。但你知道什么会让柴油价格下降吗？伊朗战争的结束，”他继续说道。
When asked about the deal, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) said on Friday he supported the president’s decision but he doesn’t “support his decision to import it from Putin. Vladimir Putin is a butcher. He’s a butcher of his own people. And he’s a butcher of the good people of Ukraine.”“He [Putin] will never be our friend. So the president is doing everything he can to get diesel prices down. But you know what’s going to bring diesel prices down? An end to the war in Iran,” he continued.
一名记者追问曾与肯尼迪一起为密歇根州参议员空缺席位竞选而同台亮相的前密歇根州共和党众议员迈克·罗杰斯（Mike Rogers），他是否同意总统的决定。
A reporter pressed former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), who appeared alongside Kennedy while campaigning for Michigan’s open Senate seat, on whether he agreed with the president’s decision.
“不，不是从俄罗斯进口。我实际上曾呼吁实施临时出口禁令，只是为了在农民收割期间尽量提供一些缓解，”罗杰斯表示。
“No, not in importing it from Russia. I’ve actually called for a temporary export ban just to try to give some relief while farmers are out harvesting,” Rogers stated.
该交易将允许俄罗斯向美国和全球市场供应30万吨柴油，以应对日益增长的压力，以解决人们对全球燃料短缺导致能源成本上升的担忧，这种短缺发生在美国对伊朗的军事行动以及俄乌战争期间。
The deal would permit Russia to supply 300,000 tons of diesel to the U.S. and the global marketplace amid growing pressure to address concerns over mounting energy costs due to global fuel shortages during the U.S.’s military operations against Iran and the Russia-Ukraine war.
宾夕法尼亚州共和党众议员布莱恩·菲茨帕特里克（Brian Fitzpatrick）周六提出了一项两党法案，他表示该法案将阻止特朗普取消制裁，称为《里根通过实力维护和平法案》。内布拉斯加州共和党众议员唐·贝肯（Don Bacon）已经签署成为共同发起人，尽管目前尚不清楚该法案的民主党发起人是谁。
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) unveiled a bipartisan bill on Saturday that he says would block Trump from lifting sanctions, called the Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act. Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) already signed on as a co-sponsor though it is unclear who the Democratic sponsor on the bill is.
“[乌克兰]总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基得到了美国国会的 overwhelming 支持，得到了美国人民的 overwhelming 支持，也得到了乌克兰人民的 overwhelming 支持，”菲茨帕特里克在社交媒体上写道。
“[Ukrainian] President Volodymyr Zelensky has the overwhelming support of the United States Congress, he has the overwhelming support of the American people, and he has the overwhelming support of the Ukrainian people,” Fitzpatrick wrote on social media.
众议员迈克尔·麦考尔（R-德克萨斯州），众议院外交事务委员会前主席，表示他“担心解除对俄罗斯石油的制裁只会为克里姆林宫的战争机器提供资金——助长更多暴力和破坏，正如我们在最近几天所看到的那样。”
Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), former Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, stated he was “concerned the lifting of sanctions on Russian oil will only fund the Kremlin’s war machine—emboldening more violence and destruction, as we have seen in recent days.”
他补充说，国会已经通过了林赛·O·格雷厄姆制裁俄罗斯和伊朗法案，该法案“赋予了总统重大权力和杠杆，以对抗中国和俄罗斯，通过谈判解决方案结束普京的战争。”9月，特朗普签署了该法案，呼吁总统对俄罗斯能源的前五大买家或帮助克里姆林宫逃避制裁的国家征收最高达100%的关税。
He added that Congress already passed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act which “gave the president significant authorities and leverage against China and Russia to bring Putin’s war to an end with a negotiated settlement.”In September, Trump signed the act, calling for the president to impose tariffs of up to 100 percent on the top five purchasers of Russian energy or on countries helping the Kremlin evade sanctions.
参议员丽莎·穆尔科斯基（R-阿拉斯加州）同样在社交平台X上表示，特朗普“应该使用这些权力，而不是允许俄罗斯出口柴油、赚取收入，并继续其在乌克兰的灾难性战争。”她说：“我们可以在战争结束后讨论俄罗斯重返全球能源市场，但目前，我们需要切断所有助长战争的因素。”
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) similarly expressed on social platform X that Trump “should be using those authorities instead of allowing Russia to export diesel, rake in revenues, and continue its catastrophic war in Ukraine.”“We can discuss Russia’s return to global energy markets once the war is over, but in the meantime, we need to cut off everything fueling it,” she said.
