After Obama poisoned our relationship with Philippines, glad that President Trump is treating the president of a great ally with respect.
Duterte isn't worthy of respect.
Please inform yourself before you write shameful posts.
Perhaps you think it's OK to execute people for BEING drug addicts. No charges, no hearings, NO TRIAL, nothing. If you agree with all that then tell Trump to start executing all the drug addicted people in Appalachia and the ghettos.
We've been allies with Philippines for well over 100 years and they are the most pro American country in the world. If you don't have any understanding of history, don't prove it by posting such ignorance.
"Allies"? For the first 50 years we were invaders and occupiers suppressing independence movements.

Yeah, that's why they kicked us out of Subic Bay or you didn't know that?
Your "understanding of history" is more akin to spending time with bar flies.
I'm sure we'll be seeing tweets about what a strong leader he is. Yeah, killing thousands of impoverished drug addicts in your own country - tough guy.
Mr. Trump had a “very friendly conversation with Mr. Duterte,” according to a statement issued by the White House late Saturday. It said that the two leaders “discussed the fact that the Philippines is fighting very hard to rid its country of drugs.”
In fact, Mr. Duterte’s war on drugs has resulted in the deaths of several thousand people suspected of using or selling narcotics, as well as others who may have had no involvement with drugs. Human rights groups and many Western governments have condemned Mr. Duterte for the bloody campaign.
You do know that he has high approval ratings in his country, no?
It's up to the Filipinos if they want him to remain in office, or not.
