美國總統川普與中國國家主席習近平9月底在華府會晤後,總額140億美元(約新台幣4450億元)的對台軍售案仍未拍板。台灣駐美代表俞大㵢接受彭博電視節目專訪時表示,軍售速度「顯然可以再快一點」;一名美國政府高級官員則透露,川普將在「相當短的時間內」決定是否批准這筆軍售,但未提供具體時程。
俞大㵢在《彭博本周》(Bloomberg This Weekend)節目中受訪指出,這批軍售以防空裝備為主,美方充分理解台灣面臨的安全威脅,他深信美國會提供台灣所需的防衛裝備。

針對外界關注美中元首互動是否衝擊華府政策,俞大㵢強調,美方已明確表態對台政策沒有改變,且華府並未接受或回應習近平要求明確反對台獨的主張;他認為,進一步明確反對台獨將超出美國長期維持「不支持台獨」的政策立場。
對於川普與習近平預計年底於國際峰會再度會面,俞大㵢直言,台灣的目標就是確保自身「不要成為談判桌上的菜」(Taiwan is not on the menu),不希望台灣議題成為美中協商或交易的籌碼。
川普短時間內決定但尚無時程
這項總額140億美元的軍售目前仍待白宮最後決定。一名熟悉內部討論的美國高級官員表示,川普將在短時間內做出決定,但並未透露具體公布時間。聯邦眾議院議長強生(Mike Johnson)日前也出面緩頰,強調台灣是美方非常重要的夥伴與盟友,並表示軍售審批步調放緩與當前嚴峻的中東情勢有關。
彭博報導另揭露川習參訪美國國家檔案館前夕的外交插曲。知情人士透露,中國外交官員在最後關頭強力運作,確保現場並未展出1951年簽署的《舊金山和約》。該和約規定日本放棄對台灣的權利,但沒有明確寫出台灣主權歸屬,因此此次未被展出成為川習行程中的敏感細節。
前白宮國安會官員、布魯金斯研究所研究員何瑞恩(Ryan Hass)分析,川普任內仍可能繼續推進對台軍售,未來也可能改以規模較小的軍售案分批推進。但他同時提醒,軍售延宕造成的不確定性,可能讓北京更容易向台灣社會散播遭到孤立的論述。
