Newtalk新聞 美國總統川普（Donald Trump）先前曾多次強調，自己與北韓最高領導人金正恩關係良好，並多次公開表達希望再次與其會面的意願。同時，川普還稱金正恩針對對話接觸作出回應。不過，根據《路透社》今（23）日引述多名知情人士報導，川普與金正恩今年舉行會晤之可能性正逐漸降低。 雖然川普聲稱金正恩已就對話接觸做出回應，不過，根據《路透社》引述5名美國與韓國官員消息透露，華府至今仍為收到平壤方面有關「川金會」之回應。而據一名熟悉狀況之韓國官員表示，平壤當局至今未針對籌備川金會進行任何行動。前大韓民國外交部長、現任大韓民國駐美國特命全權大使康京和上週透露，川金會之籌備工作尚未取得任何具體進展。 一名白宮官員則表示，美國對北韓政策仍未改變，川普仍願意在不預設任何前提及條件下，與金正恩展開對話，惟目前並無任何可以宣布之會晤安排，更稱美國與北韓領導人將在將在適當時機會面。 美國駐大韓民國特命全權大使史蒂爾（Michelle Steel）本月21日在韓國首爾出席活動時，被問及相關問題時表示，她個人不清楚川普與金正恩何時會面。不過，她也說，倘若雙方要安排會晤，相關消息很可能會突然宣布：「如果真的要舉行，可能就在前一天，或僅提前幾天才會通知。」 卡內基國際和平基金會（Carnegie Endowment for International Peace）核政策計畫資深研究員潘達（Ankit Panda）表示，川普與金正恩在APEC峰會期間會面的機率不到10%。他認為，如果川普希望促成雙方會晤，北韓可能正等待美國釋出一項必須付出重大代價的公開訊號，而美國近期決定縮減與韓國聯合軍事演習規模的舉措，顯然仍不足以滿足北韓的期待。 此前，韓國最高情報機構國家情報院於上月報告評估，在11月18日至19日於中華人民共和國廣東省深圳市舉行的亞太經濟合作會議（APEC）領袖會議前後，美國與北韓領袖峰會成行的可能性約為50%。國家情報院更指出，平壤當局已向駐外使領館下達謹言慎行的指示，並掌握相關情報顯示，北韓第一線負責對美事務的人員正頻繁展開活動。 川普是唯一一位與朝鮮民主主義人民共和國（北韓）最高領袖舉行會晤之美國總統，而在他第一任期，川普本人就與金正恩進行三次會面。 回顧前三次川金會，2018年6月12日，兩人在新加坡舉行首次美朝峰會，成為史上首次由在任美國總統與北韓最高領導人會晤，並簽署聯合聲明。2019年2月，兩人在越南河內舉行第二次峰會，但因無核化與制裁問題談判破局；同年6月30日，兩人再於板門店會面，川普並短暫跨越軍事分界線進入北韓，成為首位踏上北韓土地的在任美國總統。延伸閱讀：「御妹」代兄出征？！金與正視察南方邊境要塞工程 確認新火力部隊已就位金正恩又傳病逝！BBC揭死訊瘋傳兩大原因川普拿法國示威失序狀況發言造勢 馬克宏怒嗆：不要胡說八道！川普稱美軍已痛擊伊朗 預告「我們可能還會進一步展開行動」重申阻伊擁核首艘載運4萬噸俄羅斯柴油油輪 週四啓航前往美國
