俄柴油协议遭两党围攻：蒂利斯称“可能违法”，七名参议员联名要求“立即掉头”，贝森特辩护
据《今日美国》与路透社报道，特朗普政府与俄罗斯达成的柴油供应协议10月11日在国会山遭遇两党联合反弹：一名资深共和党参议员称协议可能违法，七名两党参议员联名要求政府"立即掉头"。
北卡罗来纳州共和党参议员蒂利斯（Thom Tillis）当天在NBC《面对国家》节目中表示，有充分理由认为总统没有遵守法律。国会2022年俄乌战争爆发后立法禁止进口俄罗斯能源产品，该禁令至今未作任何修改，而财政部上周五签发的临时许可将对俄燃料制裁豁免延长至2027年4月7日，却未提及这部进口禁令法。当被问及总统是否违法时，蒂利斯说："我认为可能。"他警告这笔交易会让美国人的生命面临风险，并表示将把年底的军费与政府拨款谈判当作筹码。蒂利斯将于明年1月退休。
当天晚些时候，七名参议员发表联合声明要求"立即掉头"：共和党缅因州苏珊·柯林斯、阿拉斯加州丽莎·穆尔科斯基、蒂利斯、犹他州约翰·柯蒂斯，以及民主党新罕布什尔州珍妮·沙欣、康涅狄格州理查德·布卢门撒尔、俄勒冈州罗恩·怀登。声明指出，国会2022年明确禁止进口俄罗斯能源，就是为了防止美国资金为普京的战争输血；政府此次既未与国会协商，也未按法律要求提交任何决定说明。声明称："在俄罗斯继续杀害乌克兰平民之时，美国不应给普京送上财政生命线。"
财政部长贝森特周日在福克斯新闻为协议辩护，称政府将动用一切现有法律授权推进此事，批评者错了，并强调协议对美国民众有利、能把油价压下来。
协议本身是特朗普周五在"真实社交"平台宣布的：俄罗斯将向美国与全球市场供应柴油，首批30万吨"立即"交付，11月再交付100万吨，之后"短期内"再交付300万吨，取决于俄方炼油厂状况。克里姆林宫已证实并称俄方随时准备供应石油及成品油。这场争执的背景是：特朗普数周前刚刚签署了以已故参议员林赛·格雷厄姆命名的对俄制裁法案，如今却因对俄"开绿灯"被本党参议员指为违法；柴油价格已突破每加仑6美元，11月3日中期选举将决定国会两院归属。包括石油市场研究员约翰斯顿在内的分析人士质疑，这点量是否足以带来实质降价。
Bipartisan Backlash Over Russian Diesel Deal: Tillis Says It May Be Illegal as Seven Senators Demand Reversal; Bessent Pushes Back
President Trump's diesel supply deal with Russia drew a bipartisan rebuke on Capitol Hill on Sunday, with a senior Republican senator calling it possibly illegal and seven senators from both parties demanding the administration reverse course, according to USA Today and Reuters.
Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, who retires from the Senate in January, said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that there is a legitimate case that the president is not following the law. Congress banned imports of Russian energy products in 2022 after the invasion of Ukraine, and that law has never been amended, yet the Treasury Department's temporary waiver — issued Friday and running through April 7, 2027 — makes no mention of the import ban, he argued. "I believe that he may be," Tillis said when asked if Trump was breaking the law. He warned the deal would put American lives at risk and said he would use year-end military and government funding negotiations as leverage.
Later Sunday, seven senators — Republicans Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Tillis and John Curtis of Utah, and Democrats Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Ron Wyden of Oregon — issued a joint statement demanding the administration "immediately reverse course." "Congress explicitly banned Russian energy imports in 2022 to prevent American dollars from financing (Russian President Vladimir) Putin's brutal war against Ukraine," they said, adding that the administration neither consulted Congress nor submitted the explanation the law requires. "The United States should not provide Putin with a financial lifeline while Russia continues to kill Ukrainian civilians."
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended the deal on Fox News, saying the administration would proceed using its existing legal authority and that the critics were wrong, while emphasizing the deal benefits American consumers by pressing fuel prices down.
Trump announced the deal Friday on Truth Social: Russia would supply diesel to U.S. and global markets — 300,000 tons "immediately," another 1 million tons in November, and then 3 million tons "within a short period," conditional on the state of Russia's refineries. The Kremlin confirmed its readiness to supply oil and petroleum products. The dispute comes just weeks after Trump signed a major Russia sanctions package named after the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, and with diesel prices above $6 a gallon and the Nov. 3 midterms set to decide control of Congress. Analysts, including oil researcher Rory Johnston, have questioned whether the volumes are large enough to bring meaningful relief.
