賴清德在社群平台Ｘ上指出，台灣並不尋求對美國採取報復性關稅，相對地我國也將從雙邊「零關稅」開始談判，且為了確保台灣競爭力，我們計畫會增加美國進口、採取其他措施，攜手合作來迎接共享繁榮的黃金時代。
〈賴清德英文原文〉
Taiwan does not seek retaliatory tariffs against the US. Instead, we’ll start talking from bilateral 'zero tariffs.' To ensure #Taiwan's competitiveness, we'll increase US imports & adopt other measures. Working together, we'll usher in a golden age of shared prosperity.
