福克斯独家： 随着全球油价飙升，一群众议院共和党人正敦促特朗普政府切断俄罗斯最大能源公司之一的利润来源。
此事发生之际，美国和以色列与俄罗斯最亲密盟友之一、另一主要能源生产国伊朗的冲突，正威胁着全球及美国国内市场失控。
得克萨斯州共和党众议员奥古斯特·普夫卢格（August Pfluger），共和党研究委员会主席，正带领五名共和党同僚致信财政部长斯科特·贝森特（Scott Bessent），要求关注卢克石油——该公司约占全球石油产量的2%。
西方制裁已迫使卢克石油宣布将出售部分国际资产，而美国和英国等国家正试图削弱俄罗斯对全球能源的控制。

共和党人在信中写道：”美国政府在决定这些油气资产的最终命运方面肩负重大责任——事实上，是责任所在。我们鼓励您万分谨慎，确保我们不会不经意间错失这一机会，向美国对手拱手让出影响力。”
他们警告，若出现”交易漏洞或与卢克石油高管的幕后交易”，可能导致卢克石油资产在紧张局势缓和或美国解除制裁后”重新落入俄罗斯手中”。
这封信上的六名共和党人全部来自得克萨斯州，他们还游说政府为孤星州（得州别称）企业收购这些资产简化流程。

他们争辩道：”特朗普总统创造了一个千载难逢的机会，不仅能切断俄罗斯战争机器的资金来源，还能让领先的美国能源公司——包括至少两家总部位于伟大的得克萨斯州——收购卢克国际公司（LIG）的资产组合，永久将全球重要油气资产从俄罗斯控制中移除，增强能源安全、可负担性和可靠性，并强化特朗普总统的’美国优先’议程。”
“我们鼓励财政部——与白宫及能源部、国务院和国防部协同——仔细审查各项提案的每一个细节，确保任何卢克国际公司资产的出售都’彻底切断’与俄罗斯母公司的联系，为美国能源公司以应有的紧迫性和精准度抓住这一机遇铺平道路。”
这一推动发生在世界舞台的关键时期，伊朗持续报复美国在中东的盟友。
特朗普打击伊朗，重创普京乌克兰战争机器
本月早些时候，美国和以色列展开联合行动，对伊朗的军事、核设施及高层领导进行打击。
据报道，自2022年2月入侵乌克兰以来，一直扰乱欧洲能源市场的俄罗斯，正协助伊朗对抗美国行动。《华盛顿邮报》报道称，莫斯科向德黑兰提供情报，助其打击美军在该地区的目标。在冲突爆发以来已有八名美国军人死亡的背景下，这一发展尤为重大。
普夫卢格在新信中提及冲突，但未提及俄罗斯据称协助伊朗的角色。
信中写道：”美国能源主导地位对国家安全至关重要，而伊朗及中东地区近期事件凸显，我们通过稳定安全地向世界市场供应能源来以实力促和平的能力，正源于此。”
“在这个日益复杂的地缘政治时代，我们认为美国能源公司而非对手的公司，应继续引领潮流。”
与此同时，美国汽车协会（AAA）报告称，自伊朗冲突爆发以来，截至3月5日，美国全国平均汽油价格上涨27美分，达到3.25美元。
截至3月11日，AAA的计算显示全国平均汽油价格接近3.58美元。

House GOP urges Trump to choke off Iran ally’s oil profits as Middle East turmoil spikes US gas prices
GOP lawmakers are eyeing Russian energy giant Lukoil amid Western sanctions

FIRST ON FOX: A group of House Republicans is urging the Trump administration to choke off Russia’s profits from one of its largest energy companies as global oil prices spike.
It comes as the U.S. and Israel’s conflict with Iran, one of Russia’s closest allies and another major energy producer, is threatening to spiral the market out of control both overseas and here at home.
Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, who chairs the Republican Study Committee, is leading five fellow GOP lawmakers in a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent regarding Lukoil — which accounts for roughly 2% of the world’s oil output.
Western sanctions have forced Lukoil to announce it would sell certain international assets as countries like the U.S. and U.K. attempt to whittle down Russia’s control over global energy.

“The U.S. government has a significant role — in fact, a responsibility — in determining the ultimate fate of these oil and gas assets. We encourage you to exercise the utmost caution to ensure we do not inadvertently squander this opportunity and relinquish our leverage to U.S. adversaries,” the Republicans wrote.
They warned against a situation where “transaction loopholes or back-room deals with Lukoil’s senior management” could allow Lukoil assets to “slip back into Russia’s hands as tensions subside or U.S. sanctions are lifted.”
The six Republicans on the letter, all from Texas, are also lobbying the administration to ease a pathway for Lone Star State companies to acquire those assets.

“President Trump has created a once-in-a-generation opportunity not only to defund Russia’s war machine but also for leading American energy companies — including at least two headquartered in the great State of Texas — to acquire the LIG portfolio, permanently removing globally significant oil and gas assets from Russian control, enhancing energy security, affordability, and reliability, and strengthening President Trump’s America First agenda,” they argued.
“[W]e encourage the Department of the Treasury — in concert with the White House and Departments of Energy, State, and War — to scrutinize every detail of the various proposals to ensure that any sale of LIG’s assets ‘completely severs’ ties with the Russian parent company, paving the way for American energy companies to meet this moment with the urgency and precision it so deserves.”
The push comes at a particularly consequential time on the world stage as Iran continues to retaliate against U.S. allies in the Middle East.
TRUMP’S STRIKE ON IRAN DEALS A MAJOR BLOW TO PUTIN’S WAR MACHINE IN UKRAINE
Earlier this month, the U.S. and Israel began a joint operation launching strikes against Iran that targeted its military and nuclear assets as well as top leadership ranks.
Russia, which has been wreaking havoc on European energy markets with its invasion of Ukraine since February 2022, has reportedly been aiding Iran against the U.S. operation.
The Washington Post reported that Moscow was providing intelligence to Tehran to help it target U.S. forces in the region. It’s a particularly significant development in the wake of eight U.S. service members’ deaths since the conflict began.
Pfluger cited the conflict in the new letter, but did not mention Russia’s alleged role in aiding Iran.

“American energy dominance is critical to our national security, and as the events of the last several days in Iran and the broader Middle East region have highlighted, our ability to promote peace through strength is enabled by our role in facilitating the stable and secure supply of energy to world markets,” the letter said.
“In this increasingly complex geopolitical era, we believe America’s energy companies, and not those of our adversaries, should continue leading the way.”
Meanwhile, AAA reported that the average national gas price in the U.S. rose by 27 cents to $3.25 as of March 5 since the Iran conflict began.
As of March 11, AAA’s calculations put the national gas price average at nearly $3.58.
