如果民主党能够夺回国会控制权，众议院筹款委员会、参议院财政委员会及其他委员会的民主党人已经列出了一系列调查目标。
Democrats on the House Ways and Means, Senate Finance and other committees are already lining up targets if their party wins back Congress.
民主党人知道，只要唐纳德·特朗普总统还在白宫，他们就无法废除其关税。但如果他们赢得国会控制权，他们计划传唤高级政府官员以及可能的企业高管，要求他们解释特朗普在贸易战中是如何挑选目标的，以及为什么对其他人网开一面。
Democrats know they can’t repeal President Donald Trump’s tariffs as long as he’s in the White House. But if they win control of Congress, they plan to haul in top administration officials and possibly executives to explain how Trump picked his targets in his trade war — and why he gave others a pass.
随着中期选举不到一个月就要举行，众议院筹款委员会、众议院外交委员会和参议院财政委员会的民主党议员和助手们正准备对特朗普的贸易政策展开大规模监督行动，特别是那些可能使富裕利益集团和外国政府受益的可疑利益交换。
With midterm elections less than a month out, Democratic lawmakers and aides on the House Ways and Means, House Foreign Affairs and Senate Finance Committees are preparing a big oversight push on Trump’s trade policies, especially suspected quid pro quos that may have benefited wealthy interests and foreign governments.
引起民主党人密切关注的交易包括：在携带着礼物的劳力士等瑞士公司高管来访后，总统决定降低对瑞士的关税；以及在一名阿联酋王室成员投资了一家与特朗普有关联的加密货币公司几个月后，采取行动放松对阿拉伯联合酋长国的出口限制。
Among the exchanges drawing scrutiny from Democrats are the president’s decision to lower tariffs on Switzerland after a visit from gift-bearing executives with Rolex and other Swiss firms and a move to ease export restrictions on the United Arab Emirates months after an Emirati royal invested in a Trump-linked cryptocurrency company.
众议院筹款委员会成员、众议员吉米·帕内塔（民主党-加利福尼亚州）表示：“我们要进行立法，但我们也会进行调查。说到本届政府如此普遍的权钱交易计划，有些适当的调查是轻而易举就能开展的。”
“We’re going to legislate, but we will investigate, as well,” said Rep. Jimmy Panetta (D-Calif.), who sits on House Ways and Means. “There’s some low-hanging fruit when it comes to the appropriate investigations that need to be done in this administration’s pay-to-play scheme that is so prevalent.”
