华盛顿9月25日电（路透社）——美国总统唐纳德·特朗普于周五试图单方面扣留国会已批准的逾8亿美元移民、种族和教育相关开支。
此举是特朗普政府与国会围绕国家开支控制权之争的最新一轮交锋。

“特朗普总统致力于动用一切可行手段，削减无益于美国公民的浪费且有害的政府开支，”白宫在宣布此项举措的声明中表示。
该声明列出了多个项目，其中包括一些专注于难民援助、少数族裔企业发展以及海外环保的项目。
宪法赋予国会财政控制权，但白宫称这些项目支持非法移民、加剧种族紧张局势，并宣扬危言耸听的环保论调。
白宫将动用一项名为“口袋撤销”的罕见手段，绕过国会直接执行。
参议院拨款委员会主席苏珊·柯林斯称此举“非法”。
“这是管理和预算办公室近期试图破坏国会宪法赋予的财政控制权的最新举动，”身为特朗普所在共和党成员、正在缅因州激烈竞选连任的柯林斯说道。“任何未经国会批准撤销拨款的行为都明显违反法律。”
最高法院去年在诉讼仍在进行期间，拒绝阻止特朗普使用同样手段扣留国会已批准的49亿美元外国援助资金。

WASHINGTON, Sept 25 (Reuters) – US President Donald Trump sought on Friday to unilaterally withhold more than $800 million in spending on immigration, race and education that Congress has approved.
The move was the latest salvo in a fight between the Trump administration and Congress over control of the nation’s spending.

“President Trump is committed to utilizing all possible tools to cut wasteful and harmful government spending that does not benefit American citizens,” the White House said in a statement announcing the steps.
The statement outlined several programs, including some focused on refugee assistance, racial-minority business development and overseas conservation.
The Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse, but the White House said the programs supported illegal immigration, stoked racial tensions and promoted alarmist approaches to the environment.
The White House is deploying a rarely used technique known as a “pocket rescission” that bypasses Congress.
Senator Susan Collins, who chairs the chamber’s Appropriations Committee, described the step as “illegal.”
“This is the most recent attempt by this Office of Management and Budget to undermine Congress’s Constitutional power of the purse,” said Collins, a member of Trump’s Republican Party fighting a tight race for reelection in Maine. “Any effort to rescind appropriated funds without congressional approval is a clear violation of the law.”
The Supreme Court last year declined to block Trump from using the same tactic to withhold $4.9 billion in foreign aid Congress had approved, while litigation continued.
