美国参议员格雷厄姆突逝,共和党外交鹰派失重要声音
南卡州共和党人林赛·格雷厄姆因急病去世,终年71岁,此前刚访乌克兰推动对俄制裁,其离世或影响国会对乌以政策走向。
美国共和党参议员林赛·格雷厄姆因突发疾病于7月11日在华盛顿住所去世,享年71岁。其办公室证实死因为“短暂急病”,急救人员曾接心脏骤停报警。去世前一日,他与乌克兰总统泽连斯基在基辅会晤,宣布已就新一轮对俄制裁法案与白宫达成共识。这一事件进一步加剧共和党在参议院的席位紧张,此前领袖麦康奈尔已住院月余无法投票。南卡罗来纳州州长将任命接替人选,以维持该州参院席位。
特朗普总统在社交媒体上悼念格雷厄姆为“真正的美国爱国者”。泽连斯基称“美国与世界失去了一位坚定的领导人”,强调其在俄入侵期间十次访乌。以色列总理内塔尼亚胡指出,“格雷厄姆深知以色列与美国的安全不可分割”,以总统赫尔佐格则称其为“美以伙伴关系的真正领袖”。欧盟委员会主席冯德莱恩和北约秘书长吕特也均致哀,肯定其在推动对俄制裁和维护跨大西洋联盟方面的作用。
格雷厄姆的逝世为美国外交政策增添变数。作为参议院预算委员会主席,他长期持强硬外交立场:力主军援乌克兰、对伊朗极限施压、坚定支持以色列安全。生前最后一周,他仍在推动新版对俄制裁法案。分析人士指出,格雷厄姆在中国问题上属鹰派,曾警告“在乌克兰示弱将导致在台湾问题上失利”,以此连接欧洲与印太安全。其缺席可能使部分涉华强硬立法进程趋缓,但国会两党对华战略竞争基调短期难变。
格雷厄姆的政治轨迹折射共和党内部演变。2016年他曾痛批特朗普“种族偏见、排外和宗教偏执”,后逐步转为关键盟友,在外交和司法任命上提供支持。其去世使参院共和党面临双重领导真空,接任者能否维系其跨党派影响力,尤其在对伊朗动武和以色列援助议题上,尚待观察。南卡州法律允州长临时任命,接任人选预计尽快公布,以稳定共和党在中期选举前的参院控制力。
