众议院民主党人：“我们将为终止这些关税展开一场惨烈的大争斗” 众议员格雷格·斯坦顿（民主党-亚利桑那州）周三表示，当民主党接管国会时，将为终止特朗普总统的关税展开一场艰难的斗争。
House Democrat: ‘We’re going to have one hell of a donnybrook over ending these tariffs’ Rep. Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.) said Wednesday that there is going to be a tough battle to end President Trump’s tariffs when Democrats take over Congress.
“在共和党毫无抵抗的情况下，总统的政策直接导致了物价上涨。在这位总统领导下，生活变得不再负担得起，始作俑者就是这些关税，”斯坦顿在接受NewsNation的布莱克·伯曼在《国会山报》节目采访时表示。“这些关税是非法的。它们推高了全美工薪家庭的物价。同时也推高了我们盟友的物价，损害了他们的经济。这些关税必须取消。我们将为终止这些关税展开一场惨烈的大争斗，因为它们让生活变得昂贵得多，”这位亚利桑那州民主党人补充道。
“The president’s policies, without any resistance from the Republicans, have directly led to increasing prices. Life is much less affordable under this president, starting with these tariffs,” Stanton told NewsNation’s Blake Burman on “The Hill.”“These tariffs are illegal. They’re increasing prices on working-class families across the United States of America. And they’re increasing prices on our allies, hurting their economies as well. These tariffs have got to go. We’re going to have one hell of a donnybrook over ending these tariffs, which is making life so much more expensive,” the Arizona Democrat added.
斯坦顿的言论是在民主党在今年中期选举中取得显著胜利之后发表的。根据Decision Desk HQ的预测，该党赢得了众参两院多数席位，并预计将在两院分别将党团规模从214席扩大至262席、从47席扩大至55席。
Stanton’s comments follow a notable victory for Democrats in this year’s midterms. The party won both the House and Senate and are projected to increase their caucus sizes in both houses from 214 to 262 and 47 to 55, respectively, according to Decision Desk HQ.
民主党的胜利发生在共和党面临严峻政治环境之际，共和党因伊朗战争不得人心、特朗普总统支持率下滑以及民众对生活成本的担忧而陷入困境。
The Democrats’ victory came amid a challenging political environment for Republicans, with the GOP weighed down by issues like the unpopular war in Iran, President Trump’s slumping approval rating and concerns about the cost of living.
凭借在众参两院的多数优势，民主党极有可能阻挠特朗普的政策议程，包括其关税政策。总统在第二任期内的关税议程动摇了全球市场，紧张了同盟关系，并加剧了经济不确定性。
With their majorities in both the House and Senate, Democrats will most likely stymie Trump’s policy agenda, including his tariffs. The president’s tariff agenda during his second term has rattled global markets, strained relationships with allies and increased economic uncertainty.
本周早些时候，民主党全国委员会主席表示，如果民主党在中期选举后重掌大权，应采取行动终止特朗普的关税和伊朗战争。
Earlier this week, Democratic National Committee Chair said Democrats should take action to end Trump’s tariffs and the Iran war in the case that they regained power following the midterm elections.
“我认为他们首先应该做的是废除唐纳德·特朗普实施的关税，”马丁说。《国会山报》已联系白宫请其置评。
“I think the first thing they should do is repeal the tariffs that Donald Trump put in place,” Martin said. The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment.
