美國總統川普(Donald Trump)近期兩度提及可能與台灣總統賴清德通話、討論對台軍售議題。不過相關安排至今未傳出進展。美國媒體週五(5月29日)指出,川普可能已暫緩與賴清德通話的考量,因為白宮將規劃中國國家習近平今年秋季的到訪。

美國哥倫比亞廣播公司(CBS)引述多名知情人士報導,在習近平訪美行程成形之前,川普目前「不再預期」會與賴清德進行通話。白宮先前曾表示,川普已邀請習近平在9月24日訪美,但中方尚未確認確切日期。

川普本月中結束訪中行程返美途中曾在總統專機空軍一號上表示,他與習近平就台灣與對台軍售進行過深入討論,並稱將很快會與「目前治理台灣的人」進行對話。他隔週受訪時也強調,會與賴清德通話討論軍售議題,並稱對台軍售可能成為對中談判的籌碼。

報導指出,自美國1979年與中華民國斷交以來,現任美國總統未曾與台灣領導人直接通話。川普2016年當選後曾接聽時任總統蔡英文的祝賀電話,當時引發北京強烈反應。
