针对朗朗试图以《我的祖国》侮辱美国的说法，白宫发言人汤米-维特指出：‘这首歌的旋律在中国是众所周知而且非常流行。朗朗只是弹奏该乐曲，没有涉及其歌词或影射任何政治...任何暗示朗朗侮辱美国的说法都是完全错误的。”
Tommy Vietor, a White House spokesman, said the song is 'widely known and popular in China for its melody. Lang Lang played the song without lyrics or reference to any political theme … Any suggestion that this was an insult to the United States is just flat wrong.'
