美官員：為支援中東作戰　暫停部分對台軍售流程

US Official Says Some Taiwan Arms Sales Delayed for Middle East Operations

美國代理海軍部長洪高（Hung Cao）日前在國會聽證會上表示，美方目前已暫停部分對台軍售程序，以確保美軍擁有足夠彈藥支援對伊朗相關軍事行動。
Acting US Navy Secretary Hung Cao stated during a congressional hearing that some US arms sales procedures to Taiwan have been paused to ensure sufficient munitions for operations related to Iran.

洪高指出，目前美軍正執行名為「Epic Fury」的行動，因此五角大廈必須優先確認自身彈藥庫存與戰備需求。
Cao noted that the US military is currently conducting an operation called “Epic Fury,” requiring the Pentagon to prioritize its own munitions inventory and readiness requirements.

他表示：「目前我們暫停部分對外軍售，以確保我們擁有執行任務所需的彈藥。」
He said, “Right now we’re doing a pause in order to make sure we have the munitions we need for the mission.”

台灣總統府：未收到美方調整軍售訊息

Taiwan Presidential Office Says No Notice of Arms Sale Changes

針對美方說法，台灣總統府發言人郭雅慧回應表示，目前並未接獲任何顯示美國將調整對台軍售的正式訊息。
Responding to the remarks, Taiwan Presidential Office spokesperson Karen Kuo said Taipei has not received any formal indication that Washington plans to alter the arms sales package.

報導指出，目前外界關注總額約140億美元的對台軍售案進度，尤其在美中關係與印太安全局勢持續升溫之際，美方態度備受矚目。
Reports noted that attention is focused on the approximately $14 billion arms package for Taiwan, particularly amid growing tensions in US-China relations and Indo-Pacific security concerns.

川普政府對台政策再受關注

Trump Administration’s Taiwan Policy Under Scrutiny

美國總統川普尚未明確承諾將推動相關軍售案，引發部分觀察人士擔憂美方對台支持力度是否出現變化。
US President Donald Trump has not explicitly committed to advancing the arms sale, raising concerns among some observers about the future level of American support for Taiwan.

根據報導，川普日前訪問中國前曾表示，將與中國國家主席習近平討論台灣軍售議題，此舉被視為偏離美方過去「不與北京協商對台軍售」的立場。
Prior to his China visit, Trump reportedly said he would discuss Taiwan arms sales with Chinese President Xi Jinping, a move viewed as a departure from Washington’s previous policy of not consulting Beijing on such matters.

不過川普在訪中結束後則強調，他並未對習近平就台灣問題作出任何承諾，並稱美方將在「不久後」決定相關軍售安排。
However, after the trip, Trump emphasized that he made no commitments to Xi regarding Taiwan and said the US would decide on the arms sales “over the next fairly short period of time.”

中國重申反對對台軍售

China Reiterates Opposition to Taiwan Arms Sales

中國外交部則再次重申，北京堅決反對美國向台灣出售武器，並要求美方停止相關軍事合作。
China’s Foreign Ministry reiterated Beijing’s firm opposition to US arms sales to Taiwan and urged Washington to halt related military cooperation.

北京近年持續加大對台軍事壓力，並多次強調不排除以武力方式推動統一。
Beijing has steadily increased military pressure on Taiwan in recent years and has repeatedly stated it does not rule out the use of force for unification.

專家：美軍彈藥庫存與全球部署壓力浮現

Analysts: US Munitions Stockpile Pressure Becoming More Visible

軍事觀察人士分析，美方此次說法，反映出美軍在中東、印太與歐洲多線部署下，正面臨彈藥產能與戰備庫存壓力。
Military analysts say the remarks reflect growing pressure on US munitions production and stockpiles amid simultaneous commitments in the Middle East, Indo-Pacific, and Europe.

尤其俄烏戰爭、紅海危機與伊朗局勢持續消耗精準彈藥，也讓美方更重視飛彈與防空系統的補充速度。
The ongoing war in Ukraine, Red Sea tensions, and the Iran situation have significantly consumed precision-guided munitions, increasing US focus on replenishment rates for missiles and air defense systems.

分析認為，即使部分軍售流程延後，美方長期對台軍事合作與印太戰略方向，短期內仍不太可能出現根本性改變。
Analysts believe that even if some sales processes are delayed, Washington’s broader military cooperation with Taiwan and Indo-Pacific strategy are unlikely to fundamentally change in the near term.
