American interests vs. Trumps attitude is preferred?

Although the US President Trump has a strong attitude towards mainland China, the Trump administration has always had a dispute over the China Eagle and pragmatic line.The New York Times revealed that the US trade representative Leitzizawa was unwilling to promote the US -Taiwan trade negotiations. It was obviously related to this, and the most important thing was of course Trump's attitude.

From the recent perspective of American countertops, the US State Department and Secretary of State Pompeo have a more positive attitude towards the US -Taiwan trade negotiations.Tsai Ing -wen announced in August that the restrictions on the import of beef pork in the United States. The Asia -Pacific Assistant State State State State State State State, the United States Office, announced at the end of August that the United States will start economic and commercial dialogue with Taiwan.The beautiful imagination of Taiwan -US relations.

However, the US Trade Representative in charge of trade negotiation has not issued a statement.Fifty American Cross -Party Federal Senators also jointly wrote a letter to Lytechizer last week, urging the US -Taiwan trade negotiations.This pressure is of course great, but Litzizer is still unmoved.

New Year reported that since the signing of the trade agreement in the United States and China in January, several senior officials of the Trump administration have argued that they have tried their best to maintain this difficult agreement, and even oppose sanctions on issues on issues in Hong Kong and Xinjiang.Cotton and other products.In addition to the Littichzer, this camp also includes the Minister of Finance Mnuchin, the Minister of Agriculture Pu Du, and the White House Chief of Staff Medis.

From this perspective, Littich is unwilling to start trade negotiations with Taiwan, and it is also unwilling to affect the business relationship with the mainland. The starting point is the interests of the United States.

Another point is time.The Taiwan -US trade and investment structure agreement has been intermittently discussed for two decades, and the progress is very limited. If trade negotiations with Taiwan at this moment, can it succeed in a big question mark?In the past, Taiwan had promised the opening of the US pigs from Bian and Madu, and finally did not fulfill it, which made the US Trade Representative very dissatisfied.Less than a month before the US presidential election, the Trump administration's future is uncertain, and Leitzizer is unwilling to start a long and arduous trade negotiations with Taiwan at this time.

Finally, of course, Trump's attitude.Although Trump set up on mainland WeChat and Tiktok, under the pressure of the US financial, business and farmers, he did not mention the tearing U.S. -China trade agreement at all, and did not adopt other trade retaliation operations on the mainland to avoid deteriorating China business relations.Then affect the election.

The Trump administration has recently been acting on a series of platforms, and Taiwan has been looking forward to it.But don't forget the warning of Bolton, a former White House, Bolton: In Trump's heart, the mainland is like his large desk, and Taiwan's weight is a small pen tip.The interests of large desks and nibs are the most pragmatic considerations in the United States.
