PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Monday expressed confidence that the Philippines’ strong partnership with the United States will endure following the election of President-elect Donald Trump.
“I don’t think it will change. The global forces that are our oldest treaty partner, that doesn’t change,” President Marcos said when asked to comment on US-Philippine relations with Trump’s win.
“So, I will have to see if there is a major change, but I don’t think so. I don’t think so,” he added.
President Marcos earlier congratulated Trump following his victory in the recent election as he expressed optimism for a more fruitful and dynamic partnership between the Philippines and the US.
The Philippines and the US have a strong record of cooperation in areas, including defense and security, trade and investment, food and energy security, renewable energy, climate action, digital transformation, infrastructure development, and humanitarian assistance.
