Duterte again vents anger at US
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said yesterday his country could join naval exercises with Japan, but repeated there would be no more war games with long-time ally the United States and again gave vent to his anger against Washington.
Duterte also said he had explained to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in talks on Wednesday just why he resented the United States, reiterating that Washington treated the Philippines like "dogs on a leash" and lectured about human rights in connection with his domestic campaign against drugs.
The Philippine leader's visit to Japan coincides with jitters about his foreign policy after weeks of verbal attacks on the US, including threats to end military agreements.
