President Duterte said United States President Donald Trump's
President Duterte said United States President Donald Trump’s “judicious” reaction to the termination of the Visiting Forces Agreement between the countries is proof that the latter was a good leader deserving to be reelected.
“It is President Trump’s circumspect and judicious reaction to the termination of the VFA that made PRRD gave the following remarks: ‘President Trump is a good President and he deserves to be re-elected,'” he added. Duterte has pointed to the legislative and executive actions of the U.S. government as his reason for ceasing the effectivity of the VFA, saying such actions were not only an offensive and blatant disrespect of the Philippines’ judicial system, but also an outright assault on the country’s sovereignty.
“We are, of course, not oblivious of such succor, and we reiterate our appreciation for that deed. We wish to remind our erstwhile bosom ally that we too fought side by side with them in fighting the Japanese Imperial forces during the Second World,” he said.
