Duterte: no more foreign troops in PH in 2 years
DAVAO CITY, Philippines – President Rodrigo Duterte may abrogate executive military agreements with the United States in a bid to freeing the country of the presence of foreign troops in two years time.
The President made the announcement as he addressed the Philippine Economic Forum at the Convention Hall of Prince Park Tower Tokyo Hotel on Wednesday. Duterte is on his three-day official visit to Japan.
“I want maybe in the next two years, my country freed of the presence of foreign military troops. I want them out. And if I have to revise or abrogate agreements, executive agreements, I will,” Duterte said.
“This will be the last maneuver war games between the US and the Philippine military,” he said, adding that he wants to be friend to China and other nations.
“I do not need the arms, I do not want missiles established in my country. I do not need to have the airports to host the bombers with hydrogen bomb,” Duterte said.
