美國共和黨公布2024黨綱草案，較2020年的版本，新版要求取消給中國大陸的最惠國待遇，未見有關台灣的立場宣示。這是自1979年中美斷交以來，共和黨黨綱首次沒有對台立場宣示，引發關注。

The U.S. Republican Party released a draft of its 2024 party platform. The new platform calls for revoking China's most-favored-nation status for mainland China but notably lacks any mention of Taiwan. This is the first time since the Republic of China and United States severed diplomatic relations that the Republican Party's platform does not include a stance on Taiwan, raising concerns.

諾貝爾化學獎得主、中研院前院長李遠哲接受賴總統邀請，擔任國家氣候變遷政策委員會顧問後，公開表態擁核，核能雖危險，但比起溫室氣體排放造成人類滅絕的大災難，還是有需要。
賴政府能源政策備受關注，氣候對策委員會兩位副召集人童子賢與鄭麗君日前才針對「非核家園」政策隔空交火。

After accepting President Lai Ching-te's invitation to serve on a national committee on climate change, Lee Yuan-tseh, Nobel laureate and former president of the Academia Sinica, publicly expressed support for nuclear energy.

The energy policy of the Lai administration has attracted scrutiny. Taiwan's energy policy. Pegatron Chairman Tzu-Hsien Tung and Deputy Premier Cheng Li-chun, who are both deputy chairs of the aforesaid committee, recently exchanged fire over the "Nuclear-Free Homeland" policy.

美國在台協會台北辦事處新任處長谷立言拜會賴總統，AIT新聞稿提到他表示美國對台支持符合美國長年以來基於台灣關係法、三公報及六項保證的「一中政策」；總統府新聞稿卻對「一中政策」隻字未提。
學者懷疑府方為了對國內「政治正確」故意漏掉，也認為AIT新聞稿「提醒台灣意味濃厚」。2021年AIT前處長孫曉雅首度拜會前總統蔡英文時，並未提及一中政策。

Raymond Greene, the new director of the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) met with President Lai. While the AIT press release mentioned U.S. support for Taiwan under the "One China" policy based upon the Taiwan Relations Act, Three Communiqués, and Six Assurances. The press release by the Office of the President, however did not mention the "One China" policy. Scholars speculate that the omission was intentional for domestic political correctness, and the AIT's statement subtly reminds Taiwan of its significance. When Director Sandra Oudkirk met with President Tsai Ing-wen in 2021, the "One China" policy was not mentioned.

Cheng Wen-tsan, former chairman of the Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) was accused of accepting a bribe of NT$5 million (about US$153,650) during his tenure as Taoyuan mayor in connection with a land development case. After three hearings, the court ordered his detention and prohibited his meeting or communicating with others. Cheng resigned as SEF chairman the day after being interviewed by the prosecution.
The case has escalated, with the opposition party exposing multiple documents indicating that the bribe was not only given to Cheng but also involved Joseph Wu, then secretary-general to the president, who replied with a letter from the Office of the President stating that the matter had been referred to the Executive Yuan for handling, mentioning that "the President attaches great importance to this." The Executive Yuan quickly referred the matter to the Ministry of the Interior two days later. Both the Office of the President and Executive Yuan stated that there was no illegality and welcomed any evidence of violations to be submitted for judicial investigation.
