华盛顿——当地时间周二，两党参议员团体敦促特朗普总统终止与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京达成的柴油协议，并撤销对俄罗斯能源行业豁免制裁的举措，称此举“损害美国安全利益，是对乌克兰人民的背叛”。
“这项协议是对我们对手的馈赠，也是对盟友的背叛，应当予以取消，”参议员们在信中写道。
特朗普上周宣布，他已与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京达成协议，俄方将立即供应30万吨柴油，并在未来数月内额外供应数百万吨。普京表示，俄罗斯“已确认准备向美国和全球市场供应石油及石油产品”。美国财政部也宣布将暂时豁免对俄罗斯能源行业的制裁，以“允许俄罗斯柴油向全球市场供应”。
此次举措正值美国因与伊朗的冲突面临高油价和柴油价格上涨之际，引发了两党的密切审视。在周二发出的这封信中，共有12名参议员批评了这项协议，其中包括6名共和党议员：北卡罗来纳州的汤姆·蒂利斯、缅因州的苏珊·柯林斯、俄克拉荷马州的艾伦·阿姆斯特朗、阿拉斯加州的丽莎·穆尔科斯基、肯塔基州的米奇·麦康奈尔以及得克萨斯州的约翰·科宁。
民主党方面，康涅狄格州的理查德·布卢门撒尔、新罕布什尔州的珍妮·沙欣、伊利诺伊州的迪克·德宾、谢尔登·怀特豪斯和罗德岛州的杰克·里德，以及特拉华州的克里斯·库恩斯也在联名信上签字。
参议员们指出，尽管美国民众希望结束俄乌战争，但斡旋达成的和平协议“必须基于公正的条件”，并应维护“民主价值观、乌克兰的主权与安全，以及乌克兰人民选择自身未来的权利”。
参议员们写道，与普京达成的这项协议“既不会实现公正的结果，也不会让美国民众受益”。
议员们承认“迫切需要降低美国民众的能源成本”。但他们表示，允许俄罗斯柴油在全球市场销售“对美国民众的油价缓解作用微乎其微，甚至毫无帮助”，对燃料价格的影响“可以忽略不计”，而克里姆林宫获得的收入“无疑将用于其意欲推进的消耗战，并推动其与中国、伊朗和朝鲜的安全合作”。
国会仅在上个月通过了一项俄罗斯制裁法案，特朗普已将其签署为法律。参议员们指出，该法案赋予总统“斡旋公正公平和平的权力”，并认为这些权力“要求你对俄罗斯施加经济压力”，“从而强化你的谈判立场，以迅速结束这场破坏性的冲突”。
“数十年来，美国一直是对抗暴政的自由堡垒，历届美国总统都体现了我国对专制者的抵制，”他们在信中写道，敦促总统退出该协议、撤销财政部豁免制裁的举措，并行使俄罗斯制裁法案赋予的权力。“维护我们作为自由世界领袖的遗产——以及美国肩负的责任。”
Bipartisan senators urge Trump to rescind Russian diesel deal, calling it a “betrayal” of Ukraine

Washington — A bipartisan group of senators on Tuesday urged President Trump to withdraw from his diesel deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin and rescind a move to waive sanctions on Russia’s energy sector, saying it “damages American security interests and is a betrayal of the people of Ukraine.”
“This deal is a gift to our adversary and a betrayal of our Allies; it should be rescinded,” the senators wrote.
Mr. Trump announced last week that he had struck a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to have Moscow immediately release 300,000 tons of diesel, followed by millions more in the coming months. Putin said Russia “confirmed its readiness to supply oil and petroleum products to the American and global markets.” And the Treasury Department also announced that it would temporarily waive sanctions on Russia’s energy sector to “allow the supply of Russian diesel to the global market.”
The move, which comes as Americans are struggling with high gas and diesel prices amid the war with Iran, has sparked scrutiny from both sides of the aisle. In their letter on Tuesday, a dozen senators criticized the effort, including six Republicans: Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Susan Collins of Maine, Alan Armstrong of Oklahoma, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and John Cornyn of Texas.
Democratic Sens. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Dick Durbin of Illinois, Sheldon Whitehouse and Jack Reed of Rhode Island and Chris Coons of Delaware also signed on to the letter.
The senators wrote that although Americans support ending the Russia-Ukraine war, a brokered peace “must be on just terms,” and uphold “democratic values, the sovereignty and security of Ukraine, and their people’s right to choose their future.”
The deal struck with Putin, the senators wrote, “will not achieve just ends, nor will it benefit Americans.”
The senators acknowledged the “urgent need” to lower energy costs for Americans. But they said allowing Russian diesel to be sold on global markets “will offer limited to no relief to Americans” and would have a “negligible impact on fuel prices,” while the revenues the Kremlin would receive would “undoubtedly finance its desired war of attrition and advance its security cooperation with China, Iran, and North Korea.”
Congress approved a Russian sanctions package just last month, which Mr. Trump signed into law. The senators noted that the law granted the president “authorities to broker a just and fair peace,” arguing that those authorities “require you to apply economic pressure on Russia” and “thereby enhance your negotiating position to bring a swift end to this ruinous conflict.”
“For decades, America has stood as the bastion of freedom against tyranny, and American presidents have embodied our nation’s resistance to tyrants,” they wrote, urging the president to withdraw from the agreement, rescind the Treasury Department’s move to waive sanctions, and execute the authorities under the Russia sanctions legislation. “Maintain our legacy — and the duty America holds — as leader of the free world.”
