美國在台協會處長谷立言稱台灣7成民意支持維持現狀。民進黨立院黨團對此回應,強調兩岸現狀是中華民國與中華人民共和國互不隸屬,台灣未來由2300萬人民決定,並批評國民黨的「兩岸同屬一中」論調。

美國在台協會(AIT)處長谷立言贈送副總統蕭美琴美國隊球衣,幽默表示是時候為正確隊伍加油。此前蕭美琴曾穿巴拉圭球衣為友邦加油,谷立言隔空互嗆,如今為美澳之戰,谷立言此舉為台美關係增添運動趣味。

資深媒體人周玉蔻分析,國民黨主席鄭麗文訪美碰壁,是因為國民黨副主席蕭旭岑曾輕蔑稱美國在台協會處長谷立言為「小科長」,谷立言「恩怨分明」,記住了韓國瑜推動軍售預算之「恩」,也清算了鄭麗文傳達親中訊息之「怨」,導致美國關閉了與鄭麗文會面的大門。

KMT spokesperson Christy Lin questioned AIT Director Brent Christensen's remarks on the party's stance towards China, asking if he should first clarify what 'anti-communism' means to President Trump, citing Trump's agreement with Xi Jinping on establishing a "constructive strategic stability relationship."

US-Taiwan policy is shaped by three core principles: not unilaterally changing cross-strait relations, maintaining strategic ambiguity on Taiwan's sovereignty and China's threat, and avoiding drastic shifts in the power balance. These principles guide US actions amidst US-China competition, ensuring peace while pursuing national interests.
