Immediately after accepting $180 million in military aid from the United States, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte announced the severing of ties with the U.S., and the development of a new alliance with China. Duterte also suggested that he will pursue alliances with Russia. Duterte has repeatedly insulted the United States and our President over our criticism of his blood-soaked regime, and the elimination of legal due process in his country. The U.S. should not be propping up bloody dictatorships, even when they are popularly elected. We certainly should not be supporting nations that take our money, then insult us and seek alliances with our rivals. We request that the U.S. government cancel its commitment of $180 million in military aid to the Philippines.
