川普今年5月訪問北京後,行政部門持續暫緩多項對台安全援助,包括3億美元外國軍事融資、五角大廈台灣安全合作倡議的10億美元,以及總值約140億美元的既定軍售案。國會曾批准該筆援助,但法定期限屆滿前未完成撥付。

美國總統川普日前在華府與中國國家主席習近平舉行峰會後,一筆攸關台灣防衛的巨額援助爆發政治風暴。美媒披露,美國國會原先批准提供給台灣的3億美元(約新台幣96億元)無償軍援,由於未在9月30日法定期限前完成撥付,川普政府已將該筆資金的現況「直接列為機密」,引發參議院兩黨重量級議員公開砲轟。
美國《華盛頓太陽報》(The Washington Sun)引述四名知情人士說法獨家報導,美國國務院官員近期已就這筆「外國軍事融資」(FMF)款項的處理情況向國會幕僚說明,但全案細節均被列為機密檔案,國會根本無法得知這筆近百億元資金是否已轉入其他帳戶保留,或是已隨著會計年度結束而失效作廢。白宮管理及預算局(OMB)公開資料庫顯示,截至會計年度結束前,原定提供給台灣的3億美元確實尚未完成撥付。

這項黑箱處置在國會山莊引發跨黨派震動。參議院撥款委員會國務院小組民主黨首席議員夏茨(Brian Schatz)被問及該筆軍援去向時直言,因相關資訊已被行政部門列為機密,「我不知道該怎麼回答才不會觸法」。
參議院撥款委員會主席、共和黨重量級參議員柯林斯(Susan Collins)也向該報表示,自己一直在爭取這筆資金釋出,若對台安全援助成為川習之間的談判籌碼,她將會感到極度震驚。
法定期限屆滿未撥付 兩黨大老開火
參議院撥款委員會國防小組民主黨首席議員昆斯(Chris Coons)更發表正式聲明痛批,美國對台灣的安全承諾是法律明定、絕非可隨意選擇的項目。昆斯直言:「面對中國在區域日益猖獗的侵略行徑,國會已批准數十億美元用於台灣防衛,但川普政府卻為了安撫中國政府而阻撓了這筆資金,這絕非我們國家安全應有的運作方式。」
自川普今年5月訪問北京以來,行政部門便持續暫緩多項對台安全援助,包括3億美元外國軍事融資、五角大廈「台灣安全合作倡議」的10億美元,以及總值約140億美元的既定軍售案。面對國會質疑,美國國務院發言人未直接回應這筆款項的實際去向,僅重申川普與國務卿魯比歐的政策立場,強調美國對台政策並無改變。
