在抨击唐纳德·特朗普总统经济武器库中的一项关键工具后，参议院民主党人在离开华盛顿特区前悄悄批准了这项授权。
自2024年特朗普竞选期间首次提出关税以来，民主党就一直抨击其使用关税手段，并在特朗普第二任期内抓住一切机会质疑和抵制对其他国家征收的关税。
但几乎整个参议院民主党党团都投票赞成授予特朗普有限的关税授权，以换取对俄罗斯的严厉制裁。最终仅有9名民主党人和肯塔基州共和党参议员兰德·保罗投票反对这项法案。

如今，特朗普挑起了与加拿大的贸易战，对该国价值约200亿美元的商品征收50%的关税，这重新引发了竞选活动中的辩论，也让民主党人试图夺回参议院控制权并限制他的权力。
一些人警告称，给予国会批准将允许政府滥用这项权力。
“这赋予了唐纳德·特朗普大规模的新关税权力，他可以用这一权力威胁我们的贸易伙伴，并抬高美国民众的商品价格，”俄勒冈州民主党参议员罗恩·怀登在参议院发言时表示。“我相信参议员们日后会对投票授予唐纳德·特朗普这项关税权力深感后悔。”
尽管与制裁法案中授予的授权并无直接关联——该法案直接针对购买俄罗斯石油的国家——但特朗普与美国顶级贸易伙伴之一开战的举动，恰恰印证了他此前的警告：白宫获得了国会的宽松授权。

制裁法案中包含的关税授权将允许特朗普对俄罗斯进口商品征收最高500%的关税，对包括中国和印度在内的俄罗斯能源五大进口国征收最高100%的关税。
康涅狄格州民主党参议员理查德·布卢门撒尔与已故参议员林赛·格雷厄姆一道，推动这项法案近两年。他告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，如果特朗普偏离法案规定的法律框架，法院将会像去年“解放日”时他推出全面关税那样阻止他。
“如果唐纳德·特朗普想违反这项法律，他将会被法院约束，就像他之前违反关税相关法律时一样，”布卢门撒尔说。“我们能做的就是在立法中明确将他的权力限制在五大采购国范围内，仅此而已。”
马萨诸塞州民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦随后投票反对该法案，她上月告诉记者，特朗普“已经展示了他在拥有广泛关税授权时会怎么做”。
“天哪，就算没有授权，他都已经展示过他会怎么做了，”她说。
而一直是少数 consistently反对特朗普使用关税的共和党人之一的保罗，与怀登一道提出修正案，试图从整体法案中移除关税条款，他警告称关税不过是对美国民众的额外征税。
“不要让对乌克兰的同情蒙蔽了你对关税现实的认知，”保罗说。
一位参议院民主党人、佐治亚州民主党参议员拉斐尔·沃诺克从美国贸易代表贾米森·格里尔处获得保证，制裁法案中的关税将仅适用于俄罗斯的五大能源贸易伙伴。
他告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，人们担忧特朗普可能会广泛曲解法案中的规则，随心所欲地征收关税，这也是他为何寻求从政府方面获得约束性承诺的原因。
“追究弗拉基米尔·普京的责任至关重要。他是一名战争罪犯，”沃诺克说。“他对乌克兰的侵略对我们的国家安全构成了威胁。但与此同时，对这位总统设置一些约束也很重要。我认为我在确保这一点上取得了相当大的进展。”

After raging against a key tool in President Donald Trump’s economic arsenal, Senate Democrats quietly green-lit the authority before they left Washington, D.C.
Democrats have bashed Trump’s use of tariffs since they were first floated during his campaign in 2024, and have taken every chance to challenge and push back against duties imposed on other countries throughout his second term.
But nearly the entire Senate Democratic caucus voted in favor of giving Trump limited tariff authority in exchange for bone-crushing sanctions against Russia. Only nine Democrats, and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., ultimately voted against the package.
PUTIN, RUSSIA PUT ON NOTICE AS SENATE TAKES CRUCIAL STEP TO GRIND DOWN THE KREMLIN’S WAR MACHINE

Now, Trump has ignited a trade war with Canada, introducing 50% tariffs against the country on roughly $20 billion worth of goods, which has reignited the debate on the campaign trail and as Democrats seek to flip the Senate and corral his authority.
Some warned that giving congressional approval would allow the administration to abuse the power.
“It gives Donald Trump massive new tariff authority that he can use to threaten our trading partners and raise prices on the American people,” Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said on the Senate floor. “I believe senators will come to deeply regret voting to give Donald Trump this tariff authority.”
Though not directly connected to the authority granted in the sanctions package, which directly deals with countries buying oil from Russia, Trump’s move to enter into a fight with one of America’s top trade partners is what he warned of: giving the White House congressional leeway.
TRUMP ALLIES PUSH TO ARM PRESIDENT WITH NEW TARIFF WEAPON TO PUNISH COUNTRIES ‘RIPPING OFF’ AMERICA
The tariff authority baked into the sanctions package would allow Trump to issue levies of up to 500% on Russian imports and tariffs of up to 100% on the top five countries buying Russian energy, like China and India.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., who, alongside the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, pushed the package for nearly two years, told Fox News Digital that if Trump strays outside the legal confines built into the package, the courts will block him as they did with his sweeping tariffs unveiled on “Liberation Day” last year.
“If Donald Trump wants to break this law, he will be restrained by the courts, just as when he broke the law on tariffs previously,” Blumenthal said. “We can’t do any more than be explicit in limiting his authority to the top five purchasers, and only those countries, by the terms, specific in the legislation.”
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., who went on to vote against the package, told reporters last month that Trump “has shown what he will do with broad tariff authority.”

“Heck, he’s shown what he’ll do even if he doesn’t have authority,” she said.
And Paul, who has been one of the lone Republicans to consistently oppose Trump’s use of tariffs, introduced an amendment alongside Wyden to strip them from the broader package, warning that the duties were nothing more than an additional tax on the American people.
“Do not let sympathy for Ukraine blind you to the reality of tariffs,” Paul said.
One Senate Democrat, Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., received guarantees from U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer that the tariffs baked into the sanctions package would just be limited to the top five energy trading partners with the Kremlin.

He told Fox News Digital that the concern was that Trump could broadly bend the rules in the package and impose duties as he pleased, which is why he sought guardrails and commitments from the administration.
“It was important to hold Vladimir Putin accountable. He is a war criminal,” Warnock said. “His aggression towards Ukraine has national security implications for us. But at the same time, it was important to put some guardrails on this president. And I think I made considerable progress in making sure that that happens.”
