在《本周》节目中，众议员埃默在中期选举前讨论了特朗普的柴油协议。
On "This Week," Rep. Emmer discussed Trump's diesel deal ahead of the midterms.
众议院多数党党鞭汤姆·埃默正在为总统唐纳德·特朗普将俄罗斯柴油引入美国的决定进行辩护。
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer is defending President Donald Trump’s decision to bring Russian diesel to the United States.
“这是我们总统跳出框架思考的又一个例子。你知道的，他在倾听美国人民的意见，”来自明尼苏达州的共和党众议员埃默对《本周》联合主播乔纳森·卡尔说。
"It's another example of our president thinking out of the box. You know, he's listening to the American people,” Emmer, R-Minn., told “This Week” co-anchor Jonathan Karl.
为了在中期选举前拉低柴油价格，特朗普宣布了一项解除对俄石油制裁的协议，这标志着因乌克兰战争而与俄罗斯持续多年的紧张关系出现逆转。许多专家表示，该计划不太可能对美国的柴油价格产生影响，但会使俄罗斯受益。卡尔还就即将到来的选举向埃默追问。
In an attempt to lower diesel prices ahead of the midterm elections, Trump announced a deal to lift sanctions on Russian oil, which marked a reversal in years of tension with Russia over the war with Ukraine. Many experts say the plan is unlikely to have an effect on diesel prices in the U.S. but will benefit Russia. Karl also pressed Emmer on the upcoming elections.
“你或许感到满意，但这并不意味着你不应该投票。你们出面投票，我们就会没事的，”埃默在为共和党在众议院和参议院的多数地位辩护时说。
"You may be satisfied, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t vote. You show up and vote, we’re going to be fine," Emmer said on defending Republican majorities in the House and Senate.
谈到燃料价格的上涨，埃默称4美元的汽油和6美元的柴油“不可接受”，并补充说“共和党人对此意见一致”。
Addressing the rise in fuel prices, Emmer called $4 gasoline and $6 diesel "unacceptable,” adding that "Republicans agree on that."
埃默还为特朗普本周早些时候关于在中期选举之后才袭击伊朗的说法进行了辩护。埃默赞扬了特朗普的军事回应，称这位总统“采取了47年来其他人不敢采取的行动”。对于国防部长皮特·海格塞斯关于直播处决胡德堡枪击案凶手尼达尔·马利克·哈桑计划的评论，埃默则将其交由特朗普处理。
Emmer also defended Trump’s claim earlier this week not to attack Iran until after the midterm elections. Emmer praised Trump’s military responses, saying that the president “took the action that no one else would take for 47 years.”On Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's comments on plans to livestream the execution of the Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan, Emmer deferred to Trump.
“就我个人而言，我并不赞成死刑。但我会告诉你这一点，我非常高兴我们这个国家有一位总统、一位行政首长能够做出决定，”埃默说。“他将追究罪犯和恐怖坦的责任。坦白说，如果你来到这个国家，或者在这个国家被极端化以至于杀害美国人并破坏我们的生活方式，那就应该产生重大的后果。”
"Personally, I’m not in favor of the death penalty. But I’ll tell you this, I am so happy that we have a president, a chief executive in this country who will make a decision," Emmer said. "He will hold the criminals and the terrorists accountable. And frankly, if you come to this country or you’re radicalized in this country to kill Americans and disrupt our way of life, there should be significant consequences."
