Trump says he does not mind if Philippines cuts military pact with U.S.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he would not mind if the Philippines ends a military agreement with the United States. Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday announced the termination of a two-decade-old Visiting Forces Agreement with the United States, a move U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper has called "unfortunate." The decision will take effect in 180 days.

Trump added that he has a good relationship with Duterte.
