國安會秘書長顧立雄接受專訪指出，美國採「不講明但不排除介入」戰略模糊，透過「前進部署」在台海周邊展現硬實力嚇阻，除使中國認知戰爭代價，亦不讓中國有藉口指控美國改變現狀；在台美軍事上，為強化台灣自我防衛韌性，美國確實花了相當大的功夫。
被問到美國眾議員Seth Moulton拋出「應讓中國清楚知道，若入侵台灣，我們就會炸掉台積電」的想法。顧立雄表示無法理解這是什麼意思，這個題目在兵推想定從未出現。

In an exclusive interview, Secretary-General Wellington Koo of the National Security Council indicated that the United States is adopting an ambiguous strategy of "not explicating but not ruling out intervention" and uses "advance deployment" to show hard power deterrence around the Taiwan Strait. In addition to making China aware of the cost of war, the United States also does not want to let China have the excuse to accuse Washington of altering the status quo. In terms of U.S.-Taiwan military affairs, the United States had indeed spent considerable effort to strengthen Taiwan's self-defense resilience.
When asked about U.S. Representative Seth Moulton's idea about blowing up the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) in the event of China's invasion of Taiwan, Koo stated that he couldn't understand what the comments meant. This topic had never appeared in previous wargame simulations.
