In January 2022, Nausėda criticized the government's creation of a de facto embassy of Taiwan with the inclusion of "Taiwanese" in the name, an act interpreted by the People's Republic of China as a breach of the One-China policy and resulted in a degradation in political and economic relationships.{{Cite news|last=Milne|first=Richard|date=4 January 2022|title=Lithuania's president chides government for China spat|work=Financial Times|url=https://www.ft.com/content/a326226c-bb2b-4685-990e-18cf50e0fc39|access-date=5 January 2022|archive-date=5 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220105025439/https://www.ft.com/content/a326226c-bb2b-4685-990e-18cf50e0fc39|url-status=live}} The President clarified that while he does not object to the opening of the embassy, he was not consulted on the naming decision.{{Cite news|last=Seputyte|first=Milda|date=4 January 2022|title=Lithuania President Rebukes Government Over China Trade Spat|work=Bloomberg|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-01-04/lithuanian-president-rebukes-government-over-taiwan-controversy|access-date=4 January 2022|archive-date=5 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220105025439/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-01-04/lithuanian-president-rebukes-government-over-taiwan-controversy|url-status=live}}

After the Iranian attack on Israel in April 2024, Nausėda criticized the "unacceptable double standards" of European countries and the United States regarding military aid to Ukraine and Israel, saying that "if we are principled and really stand for democratic values, we should support both [countries], and not calculate – we give this much to one and that much to the other."{{cite news |title=Lithuanian president says 'double standards' in play in Western support to Israel, Ukraine |url=https://www.lrt.lt/en/news-in-english/19/2253738/lithuanian-president-says-double-standards-in-play-in-western-support-to-israel-ukraine |work=LRT |date=18 April 2024 |access-date=1 May 2024 |archive-date=1 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240501114237/https://www.lrt.lt/en/news-in-english/19/2253738/lithuanian-president-says-double-standards-in-play-in-western-support-to-israel-ukraine |url-status=live }} On 21 November 2024, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for two senior Israeli officials, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, and Yoav Gallant, the former Minister of Defense of Israel, The Foreign Ministry confirmed that the arrest warrant would be executed.{{Cite web |last1=Biržietis |first1=Dominykas |title=Ministerija: Netanyahu išduotas tarptautinis arešto orderis turi būti vykdomas |trans-title=Ministry: International arrest warrant for Netanyahu must be enforced |url=https://www.lrt.lt/naujienos/lietuvoje/2/2420104/ministerija-netanyahu-isduotas-tarptautinis-aresto-orderis-turi-buti-vykdomas |access-date=21 November 2024 |website=LRT |date=21 November 2024 |language=lt |archive-date=21 November 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241121182621/https://www.lrt.lt/naujienos/lietuvoje/2/2420104/ministerija-netanyahu-isduotas-tarptautinis-aresto-orderis-turi-buti-vykdomas |url-status=live }}

During the 2020 parliamentary elections Ingrida Šimonytė, former opponent of Nausėda in the 2019 presidential election, was elected to the position of prime minister.{{Cite web|url=https://www.ziniuradijas.lt/laidos/ivykiai-ir-komentarai/kokie-bus-i-simonytes-ir-g-nausedos-santykiai?video=1|title=Kokie bus I.

During February 2021 it was alleged that there were talks in new ruling coalition about impeaching the president, possible due to alleged breaching of power in two different situations: alleged interference in appointing military intelligence commanders (which is the duty of

Minister of Defence) and participation in European Council (which is, according to some conservatives, the prerogative of the Prime Minister).{{Cite web |title=NSGK aiškinsis situaciją dėl galimo Nausėdos dalyvavimo skiriant karinės žvalgybos vadą |url=https://www.delfi.lt/news/daily/lithuania/nsgk-aiskinsis-situacija-del-galimo-nausedos-dalyvavimo-skiriant-karines-zvalgybos-vada-86395867 |access-date=10 May 2024 |website=Delfi |language=lt |archive-date=10 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240510114611/https://www.delfi.lt/news/daily/lithuania/nsgk-aiskinsis-situacija-del-galimo-nausedos-dalyvavimo-skiriant-karines-zvalgybos-vada-86395867 |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |title=M.Maldeikis apie atstovavimo tradicijas EVT: "Tai – bajoriškų laikų lygio klausimas" |url=https://www.15min.lt/naujiena/aktualu/lietuva/m-maldeikis-apie-atstovavimo-tradicijas-evt-tai-bajorisku-laiku-lygio-klausimas-56-1452988 |access-date=10 May 2024 |website=15min.lt |language=lt |archive-date=6 April 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210406120603/https://www.15min.lt/naujiena/aktualu/lietuva/m-maldeikis-apie-atstovavimo-tradicijas-evt-tai-bajorisku-laiku-lygio-klausimas-56-1452988 |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |title=Žurnalistas apie valdančiųjų ir Nausėdos santykius: užkulisiuose vis dažniau minimas žodis "apkalta" |url=https://www.delfi.lt/news/daily/lithuania/zurnalistas-apie-valdanciuju-ir-nausedos-santykius-uzkulisiuose-vis-dazniau-minimas-zodis-apkalta-86546725 |access-date=10 May 2024 |website=Delfi |language=lt |archive-date=10 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240510114725/https://www.delfi.lt/news/daily/lithuania/zurnalistas-apie-valdanciuju-ir-nausedos-santykius-uzkulisiuose-vis-dazniau-minimas-zodis-apkalta-86546725 |url-status=live }} However, this was denied by politicians of the ruling party.{{Cite web |title=Pasigirdus kalboms apie apkaltą G.

After the second round, LSDP chair Vilija Blinkevičiūtė unexpectedly declined the position of prime minister, leading to criticism and the nomination of Gintautas Paluckas in her place.

As President, Nausėda frequently heads Lithuanian diplomatic, academic and business delegations around the world to promote, advocate and advance Lithuanian interests internationally. This includes defending the nation's interests regionally, with the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine and internationally to promote Lithuanian business and industry and create ties with other states. Since 2019, Nausėda has made 79 international trips, including 13 to Belgium for meetings of the European Union, 8 to Poland, 6 to Germany and 4 to the United States for sessions of the United Nations General Assembly. His most recent visit was to Australia, where he spent a day in both Melbourne and Canberra.

Nausėda has welcomed many foreign leaders and dignitaries to Lithuania since taking office, including Latvian President Egils Levits, Polish President Andrzej Duda, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Canadian Governor-General Julie Payette.

During the 2019 presidential campaign, Nausėda described himself as a compassionate conservative.{{cite web |last1=Tamkutė |first1=Kotryna |title=Kas jis, Gitanas Nausėda? |url=https://www.alfa.lt/straipsnis/50421467/kas-jis-gitanas-nauseda/ |website=Alfa.lt |date=19 June 2020 |access-date=19 July 2023 |archive-date=19 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230719084629/https://www.alfa.lt/straipsnis/50421467/kas-jis-gitanas-nauseda/ |url-status=live }} In spite of this, his political positions are considered by some political scientists as hard to define. According to Lauras Bielinis, "[Nausėda's] political views are heavily permeated with economic arguments, it is difficult to find ideology there. His acquired profession and activities in the bank still remain an essential factor in his decisions in the field of politics". In 2024, Nausėda claimed that his vision "partially or, I would say to a large extent, coincides with the social democratic point of view".{{cite web |title=G.

Answering questions on important political topics sent to presidential candidates by the program "Mano Balsas" (Lithuanian: My Voice), organized by the Vilnius University Institute of International Relations and Political Science, Nausėda assumed positions on the centre – he opposed legalization of marijuana and same-sex marriage, but expressed his support for diversity quotas for women, as well as free-market economics.{{cite web |title=Gitanas Nausėda |url=https://www.manobalsas.lt/Gitanas-Nauseda/ |website=Mano Balsas |access-date=19 July 2023 |archive-date=19 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230719084629/https://www.manobalsas.lt/Gitanas-Nauseda/ |url-status=live }} In the 2019 presidential election, he campaigned on the promise of a "welfare state", although the lack of definition for this agenda has led to considerable discussion on the president's vision during and after the campaign.{{cite web |last1=Mundeikis |first1=Justas |title=Ekonomistas Mundeikis: kas yra "Gerovės valstybė"? |url=https://www.delfi.lt/verslas/nuomones/ekonomistas-mundeikis-kas-yra-geroves-valstybe-82394799 |website=Delfi |date=1 October 2019 |access-date=19 July 2023 |archive-date=19 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230719084626/https://www.delfi.lt/verslas/nuomones/ekonomistas-mundeikis-kas-yra-geroves-valstybe-82394799 |url-status=live }} During his presidency, he endorsed progressive real estate tax, multiple citizenship, and opposed raising value added tax for defense spending.{{cite web |title=#Gitanas Nausėda |url=https://www.lrt.lt/tema/gitanas-nauseda |website=LRT |language=lt |access-date=26 May 2024 |archive-date=26 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240526080132/https://www.lrt.lt/tema/gitanas-nauseda |url-status=live }}

Nausėda supports the Šimonytė Cabinet's proposal of same-sex partnerships, as long as the reform does not violate the Constitution. In 2021, he refused to sign a letter by EU leaders condemning the Hungarian anti-LGBT law.{{cite web |title=Nausėda neprisijungė prie ES lyderių laiško, raginančio užtikrinti LGBT teises, bet prakalbo apie situaciją Lietuvoje |url=https://www.lrt.lt/naujienos/lietuvoje/2/1438945/nauseda-neprisijunge-prie-es-lyderiu-laisko-raginancio-uztikrinti-lgbt-teises-bet-prakalbo-apie-situacija-lietuvoje |website=LRT |date=24 June 2021 |access-date=19 July 2023 |archive-date=19 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230719084626/https://www.lrt.lt/naujienos/lietuvoje/2/1438945/nauseda-neprisijunge-prie-es-lyderiu-laisko-raginancio-uztikrinti-lgbt-teises-bet-prakalbo-apie-situacija-lietuvoje |url-status=live }} This statement came after his endorsement of the Great Family Defense March, a protest held in Vilnius which opposed the partnership law proposal, describing it as "genderist propaganda".

Nausėda's father, Antanas Nausėda (1929–2022), was an engineer. His mother, Stasė Nausėdienė (1931–2014), was a physics and mathematics teacher from the village of Lazdininkai.

{{Criticism section|date=May 2024}}

Environmentalists have criticized Gitanas Nausėda for building a modern private house in Pavilniai Regional Park, near the Pūčkoriai exposure—a unique geological object declared to be a nature monument in 1974. Nausėda, who was then an advisor for SEB bankas, replied that he had a legal permit for its construction. The Directorate of the Pavilniai Regional Park tried to fight back against the permit, but to no avail. Nausėda responded "It's a shame that people till this day can't admit being wrong and that the court had acknowledged this as well. That time I showed good will and did not demand the court to ask money from them for a lawsuit that lasted for 2–3 years. But it seems people don't get that." According to the director of the Directorate of the Pavilniai Regional Park Vida Petiukonienė, even though experts had confirmed that the permit to construct a modern house in the park is not in accordance with the law, the court had ordered them to reconcile the project. Petiukonienė commented "This is the reality of life, this is how things work in this world, we can only feel sorry. The situation we are in is one of those ridiculous instances, a mockery of the country, laws, and people who go to work in order to commit to these laws. In other words, us."{{Cite web|title=Aplinkosaugininkai įgėlė stiklinį namą po Pūčkorių atodanga pasistačiusiam G.

In 2023, investigative journalists Dovydas Pancerovas and Birutė Davidonytė released a book titled The Whistleblower and the President ({{langx|lt|Pranešėjas ir Prezidentas}}), which revealed information about unreported funding for Nausėda's presidential campaign, as well as Nausėda's relationship with business groups.{{cite web | url=https://www.delfi.lt/news/daily/lithuania/pranesejas-ir-prezidentas-nausedos-rinkimu-kampanijoje-baltarusisku-trasu-atstovai.d?id=92603183 | title="Pranešėjas ir Prezidentas": Nausėdos rinkimų kampanijoje – baltarusiškų trąšų atstovai | access-date=28 February 2023 | archive-date=28 February 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230228144817/https://www.delfi.lt/news/daily/lithuania/pranesejas-ir-prezidentas-nausedos-rinkimu-kampanijoje-baltarusisku-trasu-atstovai.d?id=92603183 | url-status=live }} After the publication of the book, MPs of the Lithuanian Farmers and Greens Union claimed that an alleged conspiracy group called "the Statesmen" attempted to discredit the incumbent president and proposed an investigation into "statesmen" activity.{{cite web |last1=Jaruševičiūtė-Mockuvienė |first1=Gailė |title=Gaižauskas: inicijuosime laikinąją tyrimo komisiją dėl galimai veikiančio "valstybininkų klano" |url=https://www.delfi.lt/news/daily/lithuania/gaizauskas-inicijuosime-laikinaja-tyrimo-komisija-del-galimai-veikiancio-valstybininku-klano-92698201 |website=ELTA |publisher=Delfi |language=lt |date=3 March 2023 |access-date=23 March 2024 |archive-date=23 March 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240323190702/https://www.delfi.lt/news/daily/lithuania/gaizauskas-inicijuosime-laikinaja-tyrimo-komisija-del-galimai-veikiancio-valstybininku-klano-92698201 |url-status=live }}

In January 2024, Gitanas Nausėda's chief advisor Frederikas Jansonas claimed that appointments to vacant ambassador positions are delayed due to "statesmen" sabotage, and alleged that the conspiracy group is allied with the Šimonytė Cabinet. He identified members of the government, such as Žygimantas Pavilionis, as individuals listed in the 2008 "List of the Statesmen".{{cite web |title=Frederikas Jansonas tikina, kad "valstybininkų" sąraše buvo ir Žygimantas Pavilionis: tenka priminti neseną Lietuvos istoriją |url=https://ve.lt/aktualijos/lietuva/frederikas-jansonas-tikina-kad-valstybininku-sarase-buvo-ir-zygimantas |website=Vakarų ekspresas |language=lt |date=2 January 2024 |access-date=23 March 2024 |archive-date=23 March 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240323190623/https://ve.lt/aktualijos/lietuva/frederikas-jansonas-tikina-kad-valstybininku-sarase-buvo-ir-zygimantas |url-status=live }} Albinas Januška dismissed the allegations.{{cite web |title=Albinas Januška ironizavo dėl "valstybininkų" klano: "Pasirodo, valstybininkai persikėlė 20 metų į priekį" |url=https://www.tv3.lt/naujiena/video/albinas-januska-ironizavo-del-valstybininku-klano-pasirodo-valstybininkai-persikele-20-metu-i-prieki-n1285993 |website=TV3 |language=lt |date=3 February 2024 |access-date=23 March 2024 |archive-date=23 March 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240323190649/https://www.tv3.lt/naujiena/video/albinas-januska-ironizavo-del-valstybininku-klano-pasirodo-valstybininkai-persikele-20-metu-i-prieki-n1285993 |url-status=live }}

In 2023, controversy arose when it was revealed that Nausėda was a former member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. According to documents, Nausėda, who was identified with a Russified form of his name, Gitanas Antanovich Nauseda, joined the CPSU on 20 May 1988, and was given a party ticket on 27 June. The news about his membership was first broken out by Dovydas Pancerovas, a journalist working for the Laisvės TV channel, who found the information in the Lithuanian State Historical Archives. Controversy intensified as it was also revealed that Nausėda did not disclose this information when filing for the presidency.{{Cite web |date=6 April 2023 |title=Gitanas Nauseda, current President of Lithuania, exposed as former member of USSR Communist Party |url=https://euroweeklynews.com/2023/04/07/gitanas-nauseda-current-president-of-lithuania-exposed-as-former-member-of-ussr-communist-party/ |access-date=3 May 2023 |website=Euro Weekly News |language=en-GB |archive-date=3 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230503023411/https://euroweeklynews.com/2023/04/07/gitanas-nauseda-current-president-of-lithuania-exposed-as-former-member-of-ussr-communist-party/ |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |date=13 April 2023 |title=BNN ANALYSES: Lithuanian President's skeleton in his closet revealed – membership in the Communist Party |url=https://bnn-news.com/bnn-analyses-lithuanian-presidents-skeleton-in-his-closet-revealed-membership-in-the-communist-party-244817 |access-date=3 May 2023 |website=Baltic News Network |language=en-US |archive-date=3 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230503023409/https://bnn-news.com/bnn-analyses-lithuanian-presidents-skeleton-in-his-closet-revealed-membership-in-the-communist-party-244817 |url-status=live }}
