不怕川普否決援助烏克蘭 外媒解析民主黨國會應對手段

民主黨在期中選舉大勝,預料將透過國會權力制衡川普的外交與國防決策

Quick Look

美國民主黨在期中選舉取得參眾兩院控制權,專家認為此舉將賦予國會更多籌碼,透過預算審查、人事任命及立法手段,制衡川普總統在烏俄衝突等議題上向俄羅斯靠攏的政策。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

美國民主黨在期中選舉中贏得參眾兩院多數席次。川普總統此前在外交事務上常透過行政命令規避國會監督。

美國民主黨在期中選舉大勝,一舉取得參、眾議院多數控制權,預料將在烏俄衝突等議題上與美國總統川普過招。外媒指出,美國總統在外交事務上權力廣泛,尤其是川普藉由行政命令等手段迴避國會制衡,包括在未尋求議員核准下,直接與以色列聯手轟炸伊朗。縱使川普不太可能因選舉失利改變作法,民主黨仍能憑藉多數力量施加國會壓力。

例如在「國防授權法案」(NDAA)和其它與預算相關的重大法案中,加入援助基輔或制裁俄羅斯條款。不僅如此,國會也能封殺川普人事提名、召開聽證會和發動調查,或是動用國會憲法權力對政府開支動刀,削減官員旅費,讓政府官員日子難過。

儘管川普已預告將扮演阻擋民主黨法案的「否決先生」,專家認為,此次大勝的程度,使民主黨易於拉攏共和黨議員倒戈,形成推翻否決所需的3分之2席次。特別是在烏克蘭議題上,先前就有數十名共和黨議員加入民主黨行列。且鑒於靠攏莫斯科不受美國公眾及部分資深共和黨人樂見,民主黨主導的國會應能限制川普進一步推動討好俄羅斯的舉措。

即將在阿布達比重啟的美烏俄三方會談,能否取得成果備受烏方期待。民主黨大勝也可能對俄羅斯總統普丁產生壓力,促使其盡速結束戰爭。烏國駐美大使館代辦西耶尼克(Denys Sienik)表示,基輔的首要目標仍是維持美國兩院的跨黨派強力支持。
