众议院筹款委员会准主席尼尔承诺撤销特朗普「不合理」关税：民主党拟先拿加拿大关税开刀
华盛顿——有望在明年1月重新出任众议院筹款委员会主席的民主党众议员理查德·尼尔（Richard Neal）11月6日表示，他致力于撤销总统特朗普「不合理的」关税，以及贸易上的「幕后交易」。
尼尔当天在前美国贸易代表戴琪主持的一场贸易会议上说，特朗普「刻意混乱且不合理的贸易政策」推高了生活成本、拉大了劳动者与最富有人群之间的差距。他说：「我致力于撤销特朗普不合理的关税，走一条建立在良治与透明之上的贸易政策道路。」尼尔没有公布具体立法清单，但表示他的优先事项之一，是让墨西哥与加拿大继续留在《美墨加协定》框架内。
参议院一侧，即将出任参议院金融委员会主席的俄勒冈州参议员罗恩·怀登（Ron Wyden）对《华尔街日报》表示，废除对加拿大产品的关税「有压倒性支持」，他已在与同僚商议，拟在明年1月委员会易主后推动立法，反制特朗普第二任期的关税措施，包括挑战其动用的1930年《关税法》第338条等法律授权。众议院议长热门人选哈基姆·杰弗里斯11月4日也在公开信中，把关税与伊朗战争列为推高生活成本的政策。
民主党在中期选举中至少赢得众议院250席、参议院54席，取得2008年以来最大的国会多数。但分析指出，任何撤销关税的立法都将面对特朗普的否决，民主党若无可观的共和党支持便无法推翻否决；对加拿大产品的惩罚性关税，被视为最可能先被瞄准的目标。

Incoming Ways and Means Chair Neal Vows to Reverse Trump's 'Unjustified' Tariffs, With Canada Levies the Likely First Target
WASHINGTON — U.S. Representative Richard Neal, the Democrat expected to regain the chairmanship of the tax- and trade-focused House Ways and Means Committee in January, said on November 6 that he is committed to reversing President Donald Trump's "unjustified" tariffs and "backroom deals" on trade.
Speaking at a trade conference hosted by former U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai, Neal said Trump's "deliberately chaotic and unjustified trade policies" had contributed to rising living costs and growing inequality between workers and the wealthiest Americans. "I'm committed to reversing Trump's unjustified tariffs and pursuing trade policy that is grounded in good governance and transparency," he said. Neal did not provide specifics of his legislative agenda, but said a priority is keeping Mexico and Canada within the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
In the Senate, Ron Wyden of Oregon, who is set to chair the Senate Finance Committee, told The Wall Street Journal there is "overwhelming support for repealing the tariffs on products from Canada," and that he is already talking with colleagues about legislation, once his committee changes hands in January, to push back on Trump's second-term levies, including the legal authorities behind them such as Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930. House Speaker contender Hakeem Jeffries also listed tariffs, alongside the Iran war, in a November 4 open letter as policies that have driven up living costs.
Democrats won at least 250 House seats and 54 Senate seats in the midterms, their biggest congressional majority since 2008. But any measure reversing the tariffs is expected to face a Trump veto, which Democrats could not override without significant Republican support; punitive duties on Canadian goods are viewed as a likely first target.
