美國期中選舉結果出爐，民主黨以壓倒性優勢重掌參眾兩院的主導權，有眾議員表態，要推動停止徵收川普關稅。外界關注是否影響台美貿易協定（ART）和進行中的301調查？行政院發言人李慧芝今（5）日在院會後記者會指出，台美持續保持密切溝通，政府會全力鞏固國家及產業利益，並全力協助廠商布局，確保產業競爭優勢。

媒體報導，隨著民主黨同時贏得聯邦眾議院與參議院控制權，民主黨可能透過立法，撤銷川普實施的部分關稅，例如針對加拿大商品徵收的關稅；也可能廢除川普用來支持關稅措施的部分過時法律條款，例如1930年《關稅法》第338條，這項條款過去從未被援引使用。

由於過去我方與美方談定的貿易協定獲跨黨派支持，外界關注是否會因此受到影響，李慧芝表示，台美雙方在今年初簽署ART、投資MOU，台灣也是屬於跟美國已經達成協議的協定國之一。我方跟美方持續保持密切聯絡跟溝通，全力鞏固我國國家以及產業利益，也會全力協助廠商布局，確保出口國跟產業競爭優勢。

Open Questions

  • 民主黨是否會真的推動停止川普關稅的立法？
  • 台美貿易協定（ART）是否會因此受到影響？
  • 301調查的後續進展如何？

Trump suffered a disastrous defeat in the midterm elections, and there is little hope for a summit between the US and North Korea leaders

U.S. President Trump plans to attend the ASEAN Summit and APEC meeting in November, but experts believe that after the Republican Party's defeat in the midterm elections, there is little hope for Trump to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The FBI accused North Korea of ​​stealing $6 billion from Binance, and Kim Yo-jong said there was no need for North Korea to meet face-to-face with unreliable and hostile people.

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.
