概要
- 民主党人推动修正案,拟废除特朗普提出的18亿美元“反武器化”基金
- 包括汤姆·蒂利斯在内的部分参议院共和党人可能加入终止该基金的行动
- 民主党计划就国税局审计、关税和移民执法行动提出更多修正案
华盛顿6月4日路透电 – 美国参议院共和党人将于周四就唐纳德·特朗普总统被搁置的18亿美元“反武器化”基金的最终命运展开博弈,随后将就一项700亿美元的移民打击拨款法案进行马拉松式投票。
议员们将于午前不久开始对该法案的修正案进行投票。民主党人承诺就这项他们称之为特朗普盟友的“黑金”的基金发起投票,旨在迫使共和党人公开违抗特朗普——这位总统在最近几周已让多名知名政客的政治生涯终结。

“本次‘投票狂欢’的首项民主党修正案将迫使每位参议员回答一个基本问题:是应该用纳税人的钱为特朗普的黑金提供资金,还是应该将其彻底废除?”参议院民主党领袖查克·舒默的办公室在一份声明中说道。
批评人士称,该基金将允许特朗普动用纳税人资金补偿其政治盟友,目前该基金已因参议院共和党人的强烈反对被白宫和司法部搁置。
民主党希望通过这场立法攻势在11月的中期选举中打击共和党人。目前民主党有望掌控众议院,也可能拿下参议院。
但目前尚不清楚共和党是否会上钩,支持民主党修正案。该修正案若以简单多数51票通过,将破坏这项为美国移民和海关执法局及边境巡逻队提供三年拨款的法案。
共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯和比尔·卡西迪——后者上月在连任竞选中败给了特朗普支持的挑战者——也提出了终止该基金的修正案。
“我不想加入某个民主党提案,我希望这项修正案由共和党人主导,只为共和党人争取,”蒂利斯告诉记者,“我们当中有足够多的共和党人明确表达了对该基金的担忧。”
卡西迪还提出了一项修正案,旨在废除一项阻止国税局审计特朗普纳税申报单的协议。
特朗普近期的多项行动引发了部分共和党人的公开批评,包括要求为白宫宴会厅和安保升级拨款10亿美元纳税人资金,以及任命政治盟友比尔·普尔特为美国情报总监。
民主党人还准备了一系列其他修正案,迫使共和党人就国税局税收保护、伊朗战争、特朗普的关税政策以及移民执法官员的行动——包括今年早些时候两名美国公民遭枪击身亡事件——进行投票。

Senate Republicans to grapple with Trump’s ‘anti-weaponization’ fund as ICE funding vote nears

Summary
- Democrats push amendment to eliminate Trump’s $1.8 billion ‘anti-weaponization’ fund
- Some Senate Republicans, including Thom Tillis, could join efforts to end the fund
- Democrats plan more amendments on IRS audits, tariffs, and immigration enforcement actions
WASHINGTON, June 4 (Reuters) – U.S. Senate Republicans will have to grapple with the ultimate fate of President Donald Trump’s sidelined $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund on Thursday, in a marathon session before voting on a $70 billion bill to fund an immigration crackdown.
Lawmakers are due to begin voting on amendments to the bill shortly before midday. Democrats are promising a vote to end what they call a “slush fund” for Trump’s allies, in a bid to force Republicans to openly defy a president who has ended the political careers of prominent lawmakers in recent weeks.

“The first Democratic amendment of vote-a-rama will force every senator to answer a basic question: should taxpayer dollars fund Trump’s slush fund, or should it be eliminated once and for all?” Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer’s office said in a statement.
The fund, which critics say would allow Trump to use taxpayer dollars to compensate his political allies, has already been put on hold by the White House and Justice Department over fierce opposition from Senate Republicans.
Democrats hope that their legislative onslaught will undermine Republicans in the November midterm elections, in which Democrats are favored to take control of the House of Representatives and could also capture the Senate.
But it was not clear that Republicans would take the bait and vote for the Democratic amendment, which would pass with a simple majority of 51 votes but also derail the bill providing three years of funding for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol.
Republican Senators Thom Tillis and Bill Cassidy, who lost his reelection bid to a Trump-backed challenger last month, are also hoping to bring amendments to end the fund.
“I don’t want to join with some Democratic initiative, I want this to be led by Republicans for Republicans,” Tillis told reporters. “We’ve got a sufficient number of Republicans who have been very clear that they’ve got concerns here.”
Cassidy has also proposed an amendment to nullify an agreement preventing the Internal Revenue Service from auditing Trump’s tax returns.
A number of recent actions by Trump, from seeking $1 billion in taxpayer funding for his White House ballroom and security upgrades to his decision to name political ally Bill Pulte as U.S. intelligence chief, have prompted open criticism from some Republicans.
Democrats are readying a slew of other amendments that would force Republicans to vote on IRS tax protection, the Iran war, Trump’s tariffs and actions by immigration enforcement officials, including the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens earlier this year.
