爱荷华州参议院共和党候选人阿什利·欣森周二表示，她不同意总统特朗普最近与俄罗斯达成的一项协议，该协议将向美国和全球市场进口30万吨柴油，她对美国与对手达成协议表示异议。
Hinson breaks with Trump on Russia diesel deal Iowa Senate GOP candidate Ashley Hinson said on Tuesday that she didn’t agree with a recent deal President Trump struck with Russia that would import 300,000 tons of diesel to the U.S. and global marketplace, taking issue with the U.S. making a deal with an adversary.
欣森在由 Nexstar 旗下的 WHO 13电视台主办的第二场爱荷华州参议院电视辩论中表示：“我们需要降低这个国家的汽油价格。我们需要降低柴油价格，但我不认为我们需要为此与俄罗斯达成协议。”Nexstar 也拥有《国会山报》。
“We need to lower gas prices in this country. We need to lower diesel prices, but I don’t think we need to be making a deal with Russia to do it,” Hinson said during the second televised Iowa Senate debate hosted by WHO 13, an affiliate of Nexstar, which also owns The Hill.
她补充道：“我认为我们应该通过临时降低汽油税来做到这一点，确保我们实际上在考虑为我们的生产商制定潜在的柴油回扣计划，投资美国的生物燃料，这是我们在爱荷华州拥有的本土答案。”
“I think we should be doing it by lowering the gas tax temporarily, making sure we’re actually looking at potentially a diesel rebate program for our producers, investing in America’s biofuels, which is the homegrown answer that we have right here in Iowa,” she added.
总统上周宣布了一项协议，称俄罗斯已同意向美国和全球市场进口30万吨柴油，正值特朗普希望在距离选举仅剩几周之际迅速扭转高油价。
The president announced a deal last week that Russia had agreed to import 300,000 tons of diesel to the U.S. and global marketplace as Trump looks to quickly reverse high gas prices just weeks out from the election.
该协议引发了两党的不满，包括周二发布的一封由六名共和党参议员签署的信函，批评总统与俄罗斯达成该协议。
The deal prompted bipartisan blowback, including a letter signed by six GOP senators and released on Tuesday that criticized the president for striking the deal with Russia.
欣森周二早些时候对美联社表示：“每当我们谈论解除对俄罗斯的制裁时，这都会让我有点紧张。”图雷克调侃说，这是他们俩罕见达成一致的问题，并表示他也不支持与俄罗斯达成柴油协议。
Hinson told The Associated Press earlier on Tuesday that “It makes me a little bit nervous anytime we’re talking about relieving a sanction on Russia.”Turek quipped it was a rare issue where the two of them agreed, saying he also didn’t support a diesel deal with Russia.
图雷克说：“我们在这一点上实际上意见一致。我想尽我所能，因为无论我走到爱荷华州的哪个地方，我都在倾听爱荷华人谈论汽油价格和柴油价格。但我不认为这应该以牺牲像弗拉基米尔·普京这样我们显然无法信任的人的经济利益为代价。”这个问题已经成为其他参议院候选人的一个尴尬问题，其中包括南卡罗来纳州共和党参议员达琳·格雷厄姆，她在周末与民主党人安妮·安德鲁斯的辩论中没有说明她是否同意总统的协议。
“We actually agree on this. I want to do everything that I can because everywhere I’m going, all across Iowa, I’m hearing from Iowans talking about gas prices and diesel prices,” Turek said. “But I don’t think it should be at the expense of benefiting the economy of someone like a Vladimir Putin, who we clearly cannot trust.”The issue has become an awkward issue for other Senate candidates, including South Carolina Sen. Darline Graham (R), who did not say during a debate with Democrat Annie Andrews over the weekend whether she agreed with the president’s deal.
格雷厄姆在辩论中说：“我认为每个人都希望乌克兰战争结束。乌克兰战争结束时，我们都会更安全。”
“I think that everybody wants the war in Ukraine to end. We will all be safer when the war in Ukraine ends,” Graham said during the debate.
彼女还表示，她为帮助通过对俄罗斯能源买家实施制裁的立法感到“自豪”。
She said she was “proud” to help pass legislation that had enacted sanctions on Russian energy buyers.
她说：“它赋予了总统工具，如果他愿意，他可以使用这些工具通过经济制裁结束战争。因此，这取决于他是否愿意使用它，或者他是否想使用别的什么。但我认为其目的是降低汽油价格并最终结束战争。当战争结束时，汽油价格就会下跌。”
“It gives the president tools that he can use if he so chooses to end the war through economic sanctions. So that’s up to him as to whether or not he wants to use it or whether he wants to use something else,” she said. “But I think the purpose of it is to bring down the gas prices and ultimately end the war. And when the war ends, gas prices will fall.”
上个月，欣森宣称爱荷华州人“不应该为伊朗的战争在加油站或收银台买单”，这是一个关键摇摆州的共和党候选人的一个显著表态，即总统特朗普的外交政策正沉重打击美国人的钱包。
Last month, Hinson declared that Iowans “shouldn’t have to foot the bill at the pump or the checkout line for the war in Iran,” a notable acknowledgment by a GOP candidate in a key battleground state that President Trump’s foreign policy is hitting Americans hard in the wallet.
