路透8日獨家披露,美國川普政府已與緬甸軍方扶植的政府展開直接對話,逆轉自緬甸2021年軍事政變後,華府孤立緬甸軍政府的政策。這是兩國官員自緬甸政變以來最高層級接觸,著重打擊詐騙園區、遭拘留美國商人,但也可能帶來更廣泛的往來,包括在緬甸稀土資源方面。

路透引述7名美國現任、前任官員以及其他了解這項政策轉向的消息人士報導,美國國務院情報暨研究事務助理國務卿麥可.范斯(Michael Vance)主導這波接觸,於上月15、16日在緬甸首都奈比多參與和政變領導人、現任總統敏昂萊的會談。會談旨在爭取釋放前緬甸美國商會會長卡斯蒂洛(Adam Castillo),但是也提供進一步往來的機會。

卡斯蒂洛6月遭緬甸當局逮捕,美國政府一直未評論他是否遭不當拘留。知情人士透露,白宮、國安會和國務院官員一直與緬甸官員進行幕後談判,爭取釋放卡斯蒂洛,緬方提出的交換條件只有「與美國政府進行適當層級的官方接觸」。卡斯蒂洛獲釋後,除了將功勞歸於總統川普,拒絕進一步評論。

消息人士指出,美國推動與緬甸接觸的一大重點,是要求緬甸協助關閉該國境內詐騙園區,但美國官員也討論取用緬甸龐大的重稀土資源。這些礦藏主要位於對抗軍政府的少數民族武裝勢力控制區,而且緬甸稀土主要進口國的中國,可能將美國的任何介入視為挑戰,美方坦承面臨障礙,不過,在華府正尋求多元供應鏈,降低對中國的依賴之際,緬甸這些資源依然是雙方一再討論的議題。

美國國務院表示,美國就涉及美國利益的議題,與緬甸各方接觸,並要求停止暴力、釋放政治犯;與緬甸軍政府的接觸並不削弱與其他團體的關係,美國持續對非軍方控制區域提供援助,但未說明援助細節。發言人皮戈特(Tommy Pigott)在聲明中說,「忽視並不能解決問題,正視才能解決問題」。

緬甸軍政府發言人未回應此事。敏昂萊目前仍遭美國制裁。聯合國人權官員指出,范斯該次訪問後不到兩週,緬甸軍方空襲若開邦一處人潮擁擠的市場,造成逾50人死亡。
