Note:
(a) "赖清德访美行顾问、前立委萧美琴将此行定调是“以个人身份,应美国民间团体邀请”来华盛顿访问,'没有官方任务与角色,'不过他在参加主要活动--国家早餐祈祷会(National Prayer Breakfast)与特朗普总统同框之余,也以这个“私人身份”会晤了包括白宫国安会在内的特朗普政府官员,国会参、众两院领导层及美国智库人士,并且在一个国际宗教自由论坛上发表演讲。"
"同框"?

("Accompanied by the Taiwanese diplomat Stanley Kao (高碩泰), Lai walked into the ballroom at 7 am. People familiar with the matter told Taiwan News that Lai was prominently seated in the first row, near the highest-ranking U.. officials. During the first three days of Lai's trip, he met with pro-Taiwan Senators Marco Rubio, Jim Risch, Bob Menendez, Cory Gardner, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi")
The photo caption says, "US National Prayer Breakfast (Taiwan News photo)."
(ii) I returned to the this VOA Chinese report, and found the same photo, whose caption reads: "台湾候任副总统赖清德2020年2月6日参加美国国家祈祷早餐会时坐在特朗普总统前方台下(与会者提供)."
(b) In his VOA Chinese report, caption of a second photo states, "在维安人员保护下,台湾候任副总统赖清德(右4)2020年2月7日在哈德逊研究所座谈会后与前美国国防部副助理部长克洛普西(右3)交谈(美国之音锺辰芳拍摄)."
