雙邊貿易協議將是蔡英文總統的妙招。 雖然台灣出口美國的大部分貨物已免除關稅，但與華盛頓簽訂協議可能鼓勵其他害怕中國反對的國家加強對台關係，提供台灣政治掩護簽訂更多協定。
美國國務院台灣政策辦公室前主任Christian Castro表示，在拜登就任後這麼快就舉行此會談，表明美台和兩岸關係在過去五年中發生了劇烈變化。他說：「重啟TIFA表明拜登總統的團隊已經接受並延續前任政府的對台政策方針，持續強化美台關係的重要性，並儘可能賦予雙方強化關係並造成實質的影響。”
A bilateral trade deal would be a coup for President Tsai Ing-wen. While much of Taiwan’s exports to the U.S. are already tariff-free, an agreement with Washington might provide political cover for similar deals with nations that want to boost ties but are wary of a backlash from China, which claims the island as its territory.
That the talks happened so early in U.S. President Joe Biden’s term is a significant indication of how far U.S.-Taiwan and cross-Strait relations have shifted over the past five years, according to Christian Castro, a former director of the State Department’s Taiwan Policy Office.
“The TIFA relaunch makes clear that President Biden’s team has accepted the need to continue enhancing U.S.-Taiwan ties along the lines started under the previous administration and give the strengthened relationship as much substantive heft as possible.”
