美国中期选举结果底定,民主党强势赢得美国国会参众两院的主导权。美学者今天分析,美国总统川普在其所属的共和党失去国会多数党的优势后,可能会更聚焦外交政策;有关140亿美元对台军售案,预期川普将在明年初之前批准。

美国3日举行期中选举,根据美联社今晚最新统计预估,民主党在国会参、众两院分别取得54席及253席,稳居多数。外界关注这波“蓝色浪潮”(蓝色为民主党代表色)将如何影响川普未来2年的施政走向。

华府智库“史汀生中心”(The Stimson Center)中国计划资深研究员孔明尚(Michael Cunningham)今天以电子邮件回复中央社记者提问表示,川普不需寻求连任,在共和党失去国会优势后,他落实国内施政优先事项的能力将受到更多限制。

孔明尚分析,这代表川普“可能会更聚焦外交政策,他在该领域仍拥有相当大的自主权”。

美国宪法赋予总统在外交事务方面的权力。孔明尚指出,川普坚信自己对伊朗采取的行动是必要的,且只要坚持到底就能赢得胜利,因此尽管他坦承美伊战争对期中选举结果有很大的影响,至今尚未展现改变路线的意愿。

川普2月联手以色列对伊朗开战,导致油价高涨,这被视为共和党落败的主要原因之一。

另一方面,孔明尚表示,美国国会两党对台湾的支持十分强劲。民主党掌控国会后,对川普与中国互动反弹最强烈的将会是各个委员会,例如众议院“美国与中国共产党战略竞争特别委员会”。

他指出,若该委员会在新一届国会仍保留,民主党人可能会将其作为批评川普对中国软弱的工具,包括反对川普对中国采取的和解举措。

前美国在台协会(AIT)理事主席卜睿哲(Richard Bush)同样认为,一旦民主党掌控国会,各委员会可以调查川普的对中与对台政策,并施加其他形式的政治压力。不过,川普拥有宪法赋予的权力,在外交政策仍有自主空间。

至于尚待川普政府批准的140亿美元对台军售案,孔明尚预期,无论是否面临国会压力,川普都会在2027年初之前批准。川普及其政府官员非常希望台湾增加国防预算,他们也清楚唯有在美国愿意提供武器购买管道的前提下,这一点才有可能实现。

他表示,尽管川普似乎比许多前任美国总统更不在意公开批评,但来自国会的公开压力仍会增加他继续拖延军售的代价。

现为华府智库“布鲁金斯研究所”(Brookings Institution)非常驻资深研究员的卜睿哲也说,由于川普与中国国家主席习近平今年有4次会晤的机会,川普在对台军售的时间点上显得谨慎。

他预期,一旦这“4次会面”结束,民主党明年1月正式掌控国会后,“围绕(对台)军售的氛围可能会迎来新的转变”。

川习两人继5月北京、9月华府峰会后,预计11月在中国深圳举行的亚太经济合作会议(APEC)峰会、12月在美国佛罗里达州迈阿密的20国集团(G20)峰会将再度会晤。
