【文/观察者网 柳白】 当地时间8月25日，韩国总统李在明将在白宫与美国总统特朗普举行会晤。然而，美方向媒体公开会谈 等安排，令韩国方面压力"山大"。 毕竟，乌克兰总统泽连斯基，乃至菲律宾总统马科斯的"尴尬名场面"在前，李在明还能顺利"闯关"吗？ "特朗普可能公开向韩国施压" 根据白宫发布的日程安排，李在明将于中午12时抵达白宫，出席15分钟的欢迎仪式，随后自12时15分 （北京时间26日0时15分）起，在总统办公室与特朗普进行30分钟的双边会谈。从12时45分开始，两国 元首将与幕僚们一同出席闭门工作午餐。 8月24日，韩国总统李在明在从日本前往美国华盛顿的专机上接受采访。IC Photo 向媒体公开双边会谈，可谓特朗普特有的行事方式。通常流程为，两国元首发表简短共同发言后，记者 提问环节随之展开。记者不仅会问及两国当前议题，还会提及美国国内政治事务及其他国际议题。事实 上，非两国议题成为提问核心反而更为常见。 韩媒担心，特朗普有可能在公开场合发表施压韩国的言论，也可能完全无视李在明的存在，转而聚焦其 他议题。 今年2月末，特朗普与泽连斯基举行首脑会晤时，美国副总统万斯就曾当面指责乌克兰"不知感恩美国的 援 ...

对于韩外长涉华表态，中国社科院亚太与全球战略研究院研究员董向荣8月4日对《环球时报》记者表示，韩国外长的政策基调偏向美日，对中国的评价沿用 美国等西方国家的一套话语体系。从其发言中不难看出，保守色彩占据主导，即使有一些进步的表达，也是基于韩美同盟和美日韩三边合作的基本框架。 据香港《南华早报》日前披露，近期美国在安全方面向韩国施加的压力也在不断加大，分析人士称，美国越来越明确地要求其盟友承担更多防务责任。报道 称，在这种不断演变的格局下，驻韩美军的主要任务可能会从威慑朝鲜扩大到在"印太"地区进行广泛行动。"韩国正面临美国盟友不断加大的压力，要求其 在美国与中国的竞争中选边站队。" 报道称，韩总统室还提到，希望各方关注，赵显的发言强调了韩方向有关各方提出与中方沟通交流的必要性。 8月3日，赵显接受美国《华盛顿邮报》采访时声称，韩国在东北亚面临"中国对邻国造成一些困扰"的问题。赵显还说，韩方要向中方发出"我们愿与中方保 持良好关系，也希望能看到中方在双边关系和地区事务中遵守国际法"的信息。此外，在谈及地区局势时，赵显又将中国"崛起"视为挑战，认为有必要保持 一定"警惕"。他表示，面对所谓"区域内新挑战"，韩国意识 ...

董向荣提到，中韩建交以来，政治、安全、经济等领域的互动让双方都受益良多。中国长期是韩国第一 大贸易伙伴，韩国从对华贸易中赚取了大额顺差，无疑是中国崛起的受益者。"韩国外长在这样一个重 要场合对中国崛起表达警惕，这样的表述令人遗憾。" 《华盛顿邮报》这篇报道提到，赵显此次访美是在韩美关系微妙之际进行的。美国总统特朗普宣布了与 韩国的贸易协议框架——韩国进口商品将面临15%的关税；韩国将在白宫的指导下向美国投资3500亿美 元，并购买1000亿美元的美国能源产品。赵显将其视为"胜利"。 "对于韩国而言，这或许是无奈之举。"董向荣表示，在美强韩弱的力量结构以及同盟体系中，韩国往往 只能被迫接受美国的要求。 据香港《南华早报》日前披露，美国在安全方面向韩国施加的压力也在不断加大，分析人士称，美国越 来越明确地要求其盟友承担更多防务责任。报道称，在这种不断演变的格局下，驻韩美军的主要任务可 能会从威慑朝鲜扩大到在"印太"地区进行广泛行动。"韩国正面临美国盟友不断加大的压力，要求其在 美国与中国的竞争中选边站队。" 【环球时报报道 记者 丁雅栀】韩国新任外长赵显3日接受美国《华盛顿邮报》采访，谈关税问题、地区 局势。在提 ...
