Re: [新聞] 川普考慮是否允許台灣領導人過境美國

所以.... 賴清德出訪是被取消?

話說，台美關係在民進黨統治台灣下，不是史上最好嗎?
那怎麼會?

台美關係，排在美中關係之後?
所以你賴清德是美國的夜壺嗎?

還是說 跟阿扁情況一樣
小布希覺得你台灣領導人在搞事?
不要給美爹添亂...

那中國要幫你賴清德協商關稅嗎?

看起來不妙耶，我是有點擔憂啦

內外交逼耶，有沒有考慮戒嚴? 刑法100
那些台灣的黨檢和司法院的法官們看起來很亢奮呀

: Trump Weighs Whether to Let Taiwan Leader Transit Through US
: 4.完整新聞內文:
: (Bloomberg) -- The Trump administration is debating whether to allow a
: planned US stopover by Taiwan’s leader next week as concerns mount that it
: could derail trade talks with China and a potential summit with President Xi: Jinping, according to people familiar with the matter.
: Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te was planning to stop in New York on Aug. 4: and then Dallas 10 days later as part of a trip to diplomatic allies
: Paraguay, Guatemala and Belize, Bloomberg reported earlier this month.
: Planning for the trip was thrown into flux late last week when Taiwanese
: officials couldn’t get their US counterparts to give the green light, the
: people said.
: The hesitation over allowing Lai’s trip has unnerved some officials in the
: US as well as in Taipei who fear President Donald Trump may concede too much: to China as he seeks a meeting with Xi, the people said. Bloomberg reported: earlier that Trump’s administration was reaching out to CEOs to accompany
: him on a possible trip to Beijing later this year.
: The White House and US State Department didn’t reply to requests for comment: made outside normal working hours.
: “Any such claims are pure speculation, based on incorrect information,”
: said Lii Wen, a spokesperson of the Presidential Office in Taipei. “The
: Presidential Office announces relevant plans publicly after all arrangements: have been confirmed.”
: The US has delayed such trips in the past, and could yet suggest an
: alternative timeframe and layover locations. Last year, Lai pushed back a
: planned transit through Hawaii and Guam by several months following a Biden: administration request to wait until after the US election, according to a
: person familiar with the matter.
: Lai’s planned visit comes at a delicate diplomatic moment. US Treasury
: Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng on Monday are
: convening their trade teams in Stockholm to advance talks for a deal with
: ramifications for global markets. An extension of a trade truce reached
: between both sides is expected and would help pave the way for a Trump-Xi
: meeting.
: China, which has branded Lai a “separatist” and “parasite,” views Taiwan
: as the most sensitive issue in relations with other countries. It has
: increasingly opposed US interactions with Taiwanese leaders, in particular by: staging large-scale military exercises surrounding the island following
: former US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taipei in 2022.
: Any hesitation from Trump over transits by Taiwan’s president will fan
: concerns that Washington’s position on the self-ruled democracy, which
: Beijing considers a renegade province, could become a trade war bargaining
: chip. In an abrupt policy reversal, Trump already put on the negotiating
: table some tech curbs imposed on China over national security concerns.
: While the US doesn’t have official ties with Taiwan, it’s legally obliged
: to provide weapons for the island’s self-defense and is Taiwan’s top
: supplier of military equipment.
: “The fact that at least some in the administration are putting our
: partnership with Taiwan on the table with Beijing is deeply concerning, and: sends a dangerous message to Beijing,” said Laura Rosenberger, a former US
: diplomat who also chaired the American Institute in Taiwan until this year. “: At a time when Beijing is engaging in increasingly coercive behavior toward: Taipei, the US needs to be sending a clear message of commitment to
: longstanding precedents, not allowing Beijing to once again move the
: goalposts.”
: Embattled Leader
: Lai, who won last year’s presidential election with the lowest winning
: percentage since 2000, also risks looking weak at home and abroad. Last
: weekend, a failed attempt to unseat lawmakers handed the opposition more
: ammunition for its agenda, which includes forging closer ties with Beijing.: Adding to the uncertainty, Taiwan’s trade officials are currently in
: Washington for talks aimed at clinching a deal to avert a threatened 32%
: tariff.
: All of Taiwan’s sitting presidents since the 1990s have traveled to the US
: on stopovers en route to other destinations. While most visits passed without: triggering heightened tensions, a trip by then-leader Lee Teng-hui to speak: at Cornell University in 1995 sparked the so-called Third Strait Crisis, with: China firing missiles into waters near the main island of Taiwan.
: Stopover requests, on occasion, have been used as a way for US leaders to
: signal displeasure with Taiwan’s policy.

: QuickTake
: The most prominent example of that came in 2006, when then-US President
: George W. Bush scuttled Chen Shui-bian’s request to transit to Paraguay via: either New York or San Francisco. That snub was taken as a sign his
: unofficial relationship with Washington had suffered a serious blow, after
: Chen upset the Bush administration with a series of pro-independence policies: that risked provoking China.
: Lai’s New York and Dallas stops would mark his first to continental US soil: since he became president last year and Trump took power in January. His
: transits in Hawaii and Guam last December were followed by what Taipei
: described as China’s largest naval deployment in years along the first
: island chain, which also includes Japan and the Philippines.
: US State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce told reporters earlier this month: that layovers by Taiwanese presidents are routine. “Transits of the United
: States by high-level Taiwan officials, including presidents are in line with: past practice and fully consistent with our longstanding policy,” she said.: --With assistance from Eric Martin and Ben Sills.

: （彭博訊）——根據知情人士透露，川普政府正在討論是否允許台灣領導人下週在美國過: 境，因為人們日益擔憂此舉可能會破壞與中國的貿易談判以及與中國國家主席習近平舉行: 峰會的可能性。
: 彭博本月稍早報導，台灣總統賴清德計劃於8月4日停留紐約，10天後再停留達拉斯，作為: 前往友邦巴拉圭、瓜地馬拉與貝里斯出訪行程的一部分。不過，知情人士表示，上週末賴: 的行程規劃陷入混亂，因為台灣官員未能取得美方正式的過境批准。
: 部分美國與台北官員對美方遲疑感到不安，他們擔心川普總統為爭取與習近平會面，可能: 在對中政策上讓步太多。彭博早前報導，川普政府正聯繫多位執行長，希望他們陪同川普: 前往北京進行可能的訪問。
: 白宮與美國國務院在正常工作時間之外未對置評請求作出回應。
: 台北總統府發言人李問表示：「任何此類說法純屬臆測，基於錯誤訊息。」他補充：「總: 統府會在一切安排確認後才對外公布相關計劃。」
: 美國過去曾推遲此類行程，現在仍可能提出其他時間或替代過境地點。知情人士透露，去: 年賴清德也曾應拜登政府的要求，將原訂經由夏威夷與關島過境的行程延後數月，以避開: 美國大選期間。
: 賴此次的訪美計畫正值外交敏感時刻。美國財政部長斯考特・貝森特與中國副總理何立峰: 預定於週一在斯德哥爾摩會晤，率領雙方貿易團隊推進談判，爭取達成一項具有全球市場: 影響的協議。雙方預期會延長之前達成的貿易休戰協議，為川習會鋪路。
: 中國曾稱賴清德是「分裂分子」與「寄生蟲」，並視台灣議題為對外關係中最敏感的核心: 問題。北京越來越強烈反對美國與台灣領導人互動，特別是在2022年時任美國眾議院議長: 南希・裴洛西訪問台北後，中國即發動大規模環台軍演作為回應。
: 若川普對台灣總統的過境表現出遲疑，將引發外界對華府立場的疑慮，人們會擔心美方可: 能將對台承諾當成與北京貿易談判的籌碼。川普已突然改變政策，將部分出於國安考量對: 中設下的科技限制拿上談判桌。
: 儘管美國與台灣沒有正式邦交，但美國在法律上有義務提供台灣自我防衛所需的武器，並: 且是台灣最大的軍售來源國。
: 曾擔任美國外交官並直至今年擔任美國在台協會（AIT）主席的蘿拉・羅森柏格表示：「: 政府內部至少有人願意將我們與台灣的夥伴關係拿去與北京談判，這是令人深感憂慮的訊: 號，並對北京傳遞出危險訊息。」她補充說：「在中國對台北加強施壓之際，美國應該展: 現對既有慣例的堅定承諾，而不是讓北京不斷改變遊戲規則。」
: 風雨飄搖的領導人
: 賴清德在去年以自2000年以來最低得票率當選總統，因此在國內外都面臨看起來軟弱的風: 險。上週末，一場罷免立委的行動失敗，更讓在野陣營獲得攻擊彈藥，該陣營主張與北京: 建立更緊密關係。
: 更添不確定的是，台灣貿易官員目前正在華盛頓與美方磋商，希望談成一項協議，以避免: 美方對台商品課徵高達32%的關稅。
: 自1990年代以來，所有台灣在任總統都曾以過境名義前往美國。雖然大多數行程並未引發: 太大緊張，但1995年李登輝前往康乃爾大學演講的行程卻觸發了所謂的「台海第三次危機: 」，中國當時向台灣本島周邊海域發射導彈。
: 美方有時也會藉由是否核准過境來對台政策表達不滿。
: 2006年，時任美國總統小布希拒絕陳水扁經由紐約或舊金山過境前往巴拉圭的請求，就是: 最明顯的一次例子。這被視為台美非官方關係出現嚴重裂痕的象徵，因為陳水扁推動的一: 系列台獨政策惹惱了華府。
: 賴此次停留紐約與達拉斯，若成行，將是他自去年就任總統以及川普於1月重掌白宮以來: 首次踏上美國本土。他去年12月經由夏威夷與關島過境後，台北當局表示中國即在第一島: 鏈（包括日本與菲律賓）部署了近年來最大規模的海軍行動。
: 美國國務院發言人塔米・布魯斯本月稍早向記者表示，台灣總統的過境行程屬「例行公事: 」。「包括總統在內的台灣高層官員過境美國符合過往慣例，與我們的一貫政策完全一致: 。」她說。
