Philippines notifies the United States it will end a major security pact allowing American forces to train in the country. “America is very rude. They are so rude,” President Duterte said.
Thousands of mostly poor suspects have been killed under the bloody campaign Duterte launched when he took office in mid-2016, alarming the U.S. and other Western governments and human rights watchdogs.
The accord, known by its acronym VFA, legally allows the entry of large numbers of American forces along with U.S. military ships and aircraft for joint training with Filipino troops. It specifies which country will have jurisdiction over American soldiers, who may be accused of crimes while in the Philippines, a sensitive issue in the former American colony.
Some Philippine senators have said the government decision to terminate the treaty, which the Senate ratified, should have the chamber’s consent.
