Taiwan Won't Get U.S. Fighter Jets While Trump Seeks a China Deal
By John Walcott and Justin Worland
April 5, 2019
The Trump Administration has put on hold a previously reported sale of jet
fighters to Taiwan until the United States seals a trade deal with China,
three Administration officials told TIME on Thursday.
That decision has contributed to concern among some in the Administration
that the President may soon go soft on China in his desire to secure a trade
deal. The draft trade agreement currently under negotiation would boost Trump
’s political fortunes and ease the jittery stock market, but it is unlikely
to address many of the issues at the core of the U.S.-China trade dispute,
said the U.S. officials, who spoke anonymously because they aren’t
authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
The move underscores the complexity and difficulty of balancing U.S.
relations with an increasingly powerful China against the American commitment
to help Taiwan defend itself. The White House’s initial decision, first
reported late last month, to offer tacit approval for Taiwan to buy 60
Lockheed Martin F-16V fighter jets was widely seen as a U.S. show of strength
against China.
注：从美方的观点，川普目前暂时搁置对台F-16军售，等中美贸易谈判后再说。
目前情势不明。
