Why It Matters

川普计划11月出席东盟峰会与APEC会议,曾表示可能与金正恩会晤。民主党在中期选举中获得参议院与众议院控制权,使川普成为任期剩余2年的跛脚总统。FBI指控北韩从币安窃取60亿美元,金与正表示北韩无必要与不可靠且充满敌意的人面对面会谈。

美国总统川普将于11月展开一系列亚洲行程,其中包括东盟峰会与亚太经济合作会议(APEC)。虽然川普曾说,他可能会在11月与北韩领导人金正恩会晤,但专家认为在共和党于美国期中大选惨败后,川普与金正恩会晤的希望渺茫。

根据《法新社》报导,民主党在美国期中大选中获得参议院与众议院的控制权,这无疑是对川普的沉重打击,也使他成为任期剩余2年的跛脚总统。美国期中大选的结果,可能令金正恩想与川普会面的动力更加不足。

美国联邦调查局(FBI)指控北韩从加密货币交易所币安(Binance)窃取60亿美元(约台币1978亿元)后,美国与北韩关系更加紧绷。金正恩的胞妹金与正4日表示,北韩没有必要与不可靠且充满敌意的人面对面会谈。她补充,追求和平包括对话,但对话不一定符合北韩的国家利益。

南韩庆南大学远东问题研究所教授林乙哲(Lim Eul-chul,音译)认为,金与正的声明代表北韩的态度「已从防御转为进攻」。他指出,北韩最新声明利用币安事件作为契机,谴责美国对北韩施加的施压政策。

南韩北韩大学院大学前校长梁茂进(Yang Moo-jin,音译)也说,预计川普仍会继续寻求与金正恩对话,但美国政府分裂局面和川普作为跛脚总统的政治地位,都将成为北韩考量的重要变数。

帕利政策研究所(Parley Policy Institute)创办人博萨克(Michael Bosack)表示,北韩正寻求美国对北韩政策出现实质且持久的改变,但不论川普提出什么条件,都无法保证在他第二总统任期结束后继续生效。

另外金正恩与俄罗斯及中国日益深化的关系,也强化了他的政治地位,并降低了他与美国接触的诱因。南韩央行于7月估计,北韩经济在2025年连续第三年成长超过3%。南韩央行指出,北韩扩大与俄罗斯的经济合作,是推动其经济成长的主要因素。

North Korea digs in for US stand-off as Democratic midterm wins dim summit hopes

Pyongyang conducted its fourth weapons test in a week, firing a new surface-to-air missile system and long-range strategic cruise missiles, while Kim Yo-jong dismissed US allegations linking North Korea to a $6.3 billion Binance cryptocurrency theft as a grave political provocation.

Changes in the U.S. midterm elections; scholars estimate that the Taiwan Protection Act and the "Six Guarantees" will be passed into law

After the U.S. midterm elections, the Democratic Party regained control of the House and Senate. Scholars believe that the structural competition between the U.S. and China and the cross-party consensus to support Taiwan remain unchanged. It is expected that the new Congress will accelerate the promotion of the Taiwan Protection Act, the Blue Sky Act, the Taiwan Solidarity Act, and even legislate Taiwan's "Six Guarantees." Taiwan-U.S. relations are expected to improve overall, but we need to be wary of Trump's possible compromise on the Taiwan issue.
