<p>民主党参议员要求特朗普总统提供更多关于他去年接受的瑞士商人赠送的劳力士手表和金条的信息，恰好是在他同意降低瑞士商品关税之前。</p>
<p>俄勒冈州参议员罗恩·怀登正在寻求更多细节，以确定总统在达成协议之前接受这些礼物是否违反了法律，根据《彭博社》看到的信件。</p>
<p>去年 11 月，一 delegation of 瑞士商人访问白宫，与特朗普会面，此前他对瑞士商品征收了 39% 的关税。随后，一只劳力士台钟出现在总统的办公桌上，这款台钟似乎并不对公众出售。</p>
<p>此外，根据怀登办公室的说法，一根定制的金条被展示在决心桌上，价值超过 130,000 美元。</p>
<p>不到两周后，特朗普宣布达成一项协议，将瑞士关税从 39%（对任何西方国家征收的最高关税）降低至 15%。瑞士关税仍维持在这一水平。</p>

<p>当时，白宫表示这些礼物是对特朗普未来总统图书馆的捐赠，符合美国和瑞士的法律，并已获得白宫法律顾问的批准。</p>
<p>在他的信中，怀登写道：“特朗普在降低瑞士商品关税前几天接受了具有重大货币价值的礼物，这造成了明显的利益冲突和可能的宪法违规。”</p>

<p>怀登还质疑瑞士谈判代表是否在向特朗普赠送礼物之前或之后通知了美国贸易代表贾米森·格里尔，以及哪位政府官员建议新的较低关税率。</p>

<p>白宫对利益冲突的建议进行了反驳。</p>
<p>白宫发言人库什·德赛在一份声明中表示：“瑞士通过减少不公平贸易壁垒并承诺在美国投资数十亿美元来达成贸易协议和降低关税。</p>
<p>“指导特朗普总统决策的唯一特殊利益是美国人民的最佳利益，任何其他建议都是完全没有根据的。特朗普总统是一位极其成功的商人，能够负担得起自己的瑞士台钟。”</p>
<p>特朗普在 8 月对瑞士征收 39% 关税的决定令该国官员感到震惊，因为美国是瑞士商品（如制药、奢侈手表和贵金属）的最大出口目的地。</p>

<p>上周在达沃斯，特朗普表示他以更高的税率征收关税是因为他对前瑞士总统卡琳·凯勒 - 苏特感到 “心情不佳”。随后，瑞士官员据报道在商人代表团帮助缓解紧张局势之前，努力说服总统降低关税率，_路透社_报道。</p>
<p>特朗普对奢华个性化礼物的热爱众所周知，这引发了对总统伦理的质疑。立法者和非营利组织表示，接受此类礼物的外观引发了关于互惠或给予某些国家优待的担忧。</p>
<p>“这件事情还造成了一种印象，即向总统赠送奢华礼物，而不是与 [美国贸易代表] 谈判，是贸易伙伴与美国接触的最佳方式，” 怀登写道。</p>
<p>在过去的一年里，特朗普公开接受了来自韩国的金冠、苹果首席执行官蒂姆·库克赠送的 24K 金和玻璃奖牌、国际足联主席詹尼·因凡蒂诺赠送的 “国际足联和平奖”、以色列赠送的金翻页器、俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京赠送的领导人合影肖像，以及来自卡塔尔的价值 4 亿美元的豪华波音 747 飞机，作为新的空军一号，随后被转移到他的总统图书馆。</p>

<p>参议员罗恩·怀登正在要求特朗普总统就他在降低瑞士商品关税之前接受瑞士商人赠送的劳力士手表和金条一事作出解释。怀登正在调查可能违反有关重大价值礼物和利益冲突的法律。白宫为特朗普的行为辩护，称这些礼物是合法的，旨在促进美国利益。这一情况引发了关于奢华礼物对总统决策和贸易谈判影响的伦理担忧</p>
