特朗普总统在与俄罗斯总统普京达成协议,在燃油价格飙升时期向全球市场释放柴油后,正面临来自民主党和其本党成员的日益增长的反对。此协议是在特朗普刚刚签署一项法律授权对购买俄罗斯石油的国家实施严厉制裁仅几周后达成的。
President Donald Trump is facing growing opposition from both Democrats and members of his own party following a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to release diesel to the global market amid a fuel price spike. This agreement comes just weeks after Trump signed a law authorizing stiff sanctions on countries that purchase Russian oil.
六名来自两党的参议员敦促总统逆转这一决定,认为美国不应为普京提供财政生命线。这些参议员表示,该协议不会使美国人受益,也无法实现正义目标。一名共和党参议员强调,俄罗斯是侵略者,必须从其占领的领土撤出以结束战争。
Six senators, representing both parties, have urged the president to reverse course, arguing that the U.S. should not provide Vladimir Putin with a financial lifeline. These senators stated that the deal will not benefit Americans nor achieve just ends. One Republican Senator emphasized that Russia is the aggressor and must back out of the territory they occupied to end the war.
该协议以及特朗普对普京的赞誉引发了共和党内部的公开批评,而中期选举形势越来越有利于民主党。此举为共和党在艰难选举中的处境制造了麻烦,因为该党正努力维持其微弱的多数优势。
The deal and Trump's praise for Putin have sparked public criticism from Republicans ahead of midterm elections that increasingly favor Democrats. The move has created complications for Republicans in tough races as the party struggles to maintain its slim majorities.
