‘I don't really mind if they would like to do that, it will save a lot of money – Trump’
PRESIDENT DUTERTE’s termination of the 1999 Visiting Forces Agreement with the United States was a wrong move, the Pentagon said, but it will save a lot of money for Washington, according to President Donald Trump.
When asked whether he would try to persuade Duterte to reconsider his decision to scrap the VFA, Trump said: “Well I never minded that very much, to be honest. We helped the Philippines very much. We helped them defeat ISIS ... I don't really mind if they would like to do that, it will save a lot of money. My views are different from others.”
