US PRESIDENT-ELECT WILL NOT MEET WITH TSAI|蔡總統過境將會面? 川普:就職前不見外賓

On Jan. 7, President Tsai Ing-wen will depart Taiwan to visit central American allies and will transit the US. President elect Donald Trump told media that before he is officially inaugurated, from the point of view of diplomatic courtesy, he could not meet foreign leaders. However, he did not rule out meeting with her in the future . US. President-elect Donald Trump attended New Year's celebrations. He was asked if he would meet with President Tsai Ing-wen during her US transit. Trump said that before he is officially inaugurated on Jan. 20, from the point of view of diplomatic courtesy, he cannot meet foreign leaders. ==DONALD TRUMP US President-elect (2016.12.31)== Before Jan. 20, I won't meet with anyone, because it's a little inappropriate. But we'll see. Domestic analysts say as Trump expressed ambivalence on the one China principle, if he now met with Tsai it would be in line with this. However, he has been equally clear that he will not meet with her during this transit, although he does not categorically rule it out for the future. ==LIU FU-KUO Researcher, NCCU Grad. Inst. of Int'l Relations== I beleive that President-elect Trump may meet with President Tsai in the future, but he is keeping his options open, not ruling out any possiblity. This would make a great impact on Taiwan US China relations. Liu believes that in the future the relationship between the US and Taiwan may be stronger, but the triangular relationship with China would then be changed, especially on cross-strait issues. Some fear that Taiwan may be a pawn in the US-China relationship. TRANSLATED BY：CLARE LEAR 川普12月31日參加一場跨年活動時，被問到我國總統蔡英文過境美國時，兩人是否有可能見面，川普表示沒人跟他講過這件事情，而且1月20日他就職之前，美國總統還是歐巴馬，所以他就外交禮儀的角度，他不適合見外賓，不過他也說未來再看看。 ==美國總統當選人 川普 (2016.12.31)== 沒有人向我提起這件事 我在1月20日就職前 不會和任何人會面 因為就外交禮儀的觀點來講 這不太恰當 但我們再看看 再看看吧 有國內學者分析，在之前川普表明對一中原則的質疑以後，川普如果和蔡英文見面，並沒有違背他的立場，雖然川普的發言很明顯表明蔡英文這次出訪，過境美國時，兩人不會見面，但川普也沒有否定未來兩人見面的可能性。 ==政大國關中心研究員 劉復國== 我個人相信這個 川普先生本人是對於 就是跟蔡總統未來見面 其實是保持一個彈性 也就是說不排除任何可能 當然這個目前在 美中台之間的這個 發酵效應是非常大的 劉復國認為未來川普上任後，台美關係將會更好，但這也將對台美中三角關係，尤其是兩岸關係帶來相關變化，甚至有人擔心台灣會成為美中談判桌上的籌碼，蔡政府將需要更謹慎因應未來發展。 記者 張志雄 陳昌維 台北報導
