THE US ambassador to Manila said a “separation” between the Philippines and the US would be difficult as the two nations were “inextricably linked,” as Washington announced that a top official of the US Department of State would be coming over to clarify President Rodrigo Duterte’s statement that he was breaking the Philippines’ military and economic ties with the United States.
US Ambassador Philip Goldberg said Duterte’s statement in Beijing was contrary to the fact that Washington and Manila continue to work closely in many areas of mutual interest to improve the lives of Filipinos.
The US has a large assistance program in the Philippines, including humanitarian assistance, scholarships and disaster relief operations, he noted.
“From our point of view, we’re not suing for divorce,” he said in a television interview.
“I think we need more clarification about what the President said while he was in China. Quite frankly, I don’t know what he means by a separation,” he said.
