Philippines could join sea exercises with Japan: Duterte
Yokohama
PHILIPPINE President Rodrigo Duterte said on Thursday his country could join naval exercises with Japan, but repeated there would be no more war games with long-time ally the US and again gave vent to his anger against Washington.
Mr Duterte also said that he had explained to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in talks on Wednesday just why he resented the US, reiterating that Washington treated the Philippines like "dogs on a leash" and lectured about human rights in connection with his domestic campaign against drugs.
