In Oval, Trump is asked about Philippines' President Duterte's decision to downgrade defense relationship with U.S.: "My views are different than other people. I view it as, 'Thank you very much, we save a lot of money.'" Yesterday Pentagon chief Mark Esper called it "unfortuate"
Duterte's spokesman also said yesterday that he won't accept any invitation to visit Washington. Trump has invited him more than one and said in Oval today he has a very good relationship.
Trump honestly seemed not to have even heard about Duterte's decision before the reporter asked the question, so his answer could be read as mostly just wanting to look tough.
