Newtalk新聞 美國期中選舉結果不只衝擊川普政府的國內政治，也可能牽動東北亞軍事布局。韓國總統李在明 10 日表示，政府必須加強與美國國會兩黨議員的溝通，爭取跨黨派支持，避免民主黨在期中選舉後取得國會主導權，影響美韓雙方已經達成的重大安全合作，其中最受關注的就是韓國長期爭取的核動力潛艇計畫。 《路透社》10 日報導，李在明要求政府密切關注美國國會權力變化，並加強與美國州政府及企業的聯繫。韓國目前仍有多項美韓合作議題尚未完成，包括韓國對美投資、戰時作戰指揮權移交，以及核動力潛艇、鈾濃縮與核燃料再處理等敏感計畫。分析人士認為，民主黨議員可能會更加嚴格審視韓國的核能相關計畫，使原本已經取得川普政府支持的合作案增添變數。 這項核動力潛艇計畫，是李在明政府希望提升國防自主的重要布局。川普去年與李在明會面時，已表態支持韓國建造核動力潛艇，並同意美國與韓國合作處理相關造艦需求及燃料來源問題。雙方後續公布的聯合事實清單，也正式確認美國支持韓國推動核動力攻擊潛艇計畫。 川普去年與李在明會面時，已表態支持韓國建造核動力潛艇，並同意美國與韓國合作處理相關造艦需求及燃料來源問題。 圖：達志影像／美聯社 然而，政治承諾不代表計畫已經可以直接執行。韓國需要取得核反應爐燃料，還涉及核技術合作、核材料管理及國際核不擴散規範。美國與韓國現行的民用核能合作協議，對鈾濃縮及核燃料再處理設有嚴格限制，軍事用途的核燃料更需要另外協商。這些議題都可能牽涉美國國會的審查與監督。 《韓國時報》5 日引述多名美國專家指出，民主黨長期重視核不擴散政策，對韓國取得核動力潛艇所需的核技術與燃料，可能比共和黨更加謹慎。布魯金斯研究院資深研究員余安德（Andrew Yeo）認為，民主黨對核不擴散規範的重視，可能成為李在明推動核動力潛艇計畫的阻礙。 美國哈德遜研究所亞太安全主席克羅寧（Patrick Cronin）也警告，核動力潛艇等具有高度戰略意義的合作計畫，可能面臨延宕或國會阻撓。不過，他也指出，美國對韓國的核心同盟承諾，包括延伸嚇阻，仍有相對穩定的跨黨派支持，並不代表民主黨重新掌握國會後，美韓同盟就會全面轉向。 美國期中選舉結果不只衝擊川普政府的國內政治，也可能牽動東北亞軍事布局。 圖：翻攝自沉浮歐羅巴 前美國駐韓國代理大使約瑟夫・尹（Joseph Yun）則向《朝鮮日報》表示，核動力潛艇、戰時作戰指揮權移交，以及美韓去年達成的新合作協議，都屬於美國國內仍有爭議的新政策。他認為，部分計畫可能因為缺乏政治推動力，在川普剩餘任期內進展有限。 事實上，韓國並非只停留在政治構想階段。韓國政府今年 5 月已公布核動力潛艇發展基本計畫，目標在 2030 年代中期讓首艘潛艇下水，並以自主設計及國內建造為方向。韓國國防部長安圭伯表示，這項計畫將結合韓國既有的核能、造船及國防產業能力，並與美國協調低濃縮鈾燃料來源。 值得注意的是，韓國追求的是「核動力」而非「核武裝」。這類潛艇使用核反應爐提供動力，但預定搭載的是傳統武器，並不代表韓國要在潛艇上部署核彈頭。核動力的最大優勢在於能長時間潛航，不必像傳統柴油電力潛艇一樣頻繁上浮或浮航充電，提升追蹤北韓潛艇及執行長時間水下任務的能力。 韓國已正式加速其國產核動力潛艦項目，以增強區域海軍實力。 圖:翻攝自X @WW3Watchtower 除了核動力潛艇，美國國會權力轉移也可能影響韓國爭取戰時作戰指揮權移交的時程。李在明政府希望加快收回戰時作戰指揮權，並將 2030 年以前視為重要目標，但美國部分政策人士對於提前移交仍持保留態度。民主黨掌握國會後，相關條件及時程可能受到更嚴格檢視。 對李在明政府而言，眼前的難題是如何讓川普政府的政治承諾，轉化為美國行政部門與國會都能接受的正式合作機制。韓國希望藉由核動力潛艇提升對北韓的嚇阻能力，也希望在美國要求盟友承擔更多區域防衛責任的背景下，取得更大的軍事自主空間。 …
