众议院民主党人对特朗普政府表示不满，因为美国贸易代表杰米森·格里尔上周未承诺实施国会近期通过的对俄制裁措施。
House Democrats are panning the Trump administration after US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer wouldn’t commit last week to imposing Russian sanctions recently enacted by Congress.
众议院外交事务委员会民主党领袖、纽约州众议员格雷格·米克斯称格里尔对Semafor发表的言论是“一个完全不出所料的事态发展，这再次印证了我一直以来的观点：没有理由相信特朗普或其政府会突然让俄罗斯承担责任。”
Rep. Greg Meeks of New York, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, called Greer’s comments to Semafor “a completely unsurprising development that only reaffirms what I’ve said all along: There’s no reason to believe [President Donald] Trump or his administration will suddenly hold Russia accountable.”
众议院联合经济委员会民主党领袖、弗吉尼亚州众议员唐·拜尔表示：“正如我和其他人所警告的那样，这项立法赋予了总统极其广泛的豁免权，可以无视该法案的大部分条款。”
Rep. Don Beyer of Virginia, the top House Democrat on the Joint Economic Committee, said that “as I and others warned, this legislation provides the president with extremely broad waiver authority to ignore most of the bill’s provisions.”
他提到了近期有关特朗普正在考虑取消现有对俄制裁的报道，并称：“我并不指望他会采取任何针对普京政权的实质性行动。”白宫未回应置评请求。
He pointed to recent reporting that Trump is weighing lifting existing Russian sanctions: “I am not holding my breath to see him take any substantive action targeting Putin’s regime.”The White House didn’t return a request for comment.
