Trump: The US is weak that is why it lost the Philippines to China & Russia ~Share

What the video that is shown below.

This video will help us understand why President Ronald Trump is in the Philippines.

If you remember, the animosity between the United States and the Philippines started when the Barack Obama administration became critical of then-Mayor Duterte's domestic programs.

It’s also likely that Duterte simply didn’t wish to commit to a position with a lame-duck White House that could be undone in an instant by the next occupant.

This hostility was also aggravated by historical grievances and offenses stretching back to the 1898 Spanish-American War. 

During Trump's presidential campaign, he accused Obama of losing the Philippines to China and Russia. His visit to the Philippines appears to be an attempt to win back its long-standing ally.

Watch this video.

By deliberately and publicly remaining aloof from Washington, it brought Duterte some political capital with Beijing, in the form of a massive block of needed economic aid, and for now, a detente of sorts over the contested Scarborough fishing shoal.
