MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said Tuesday that his country and the Philippines would start talks on two proposed defense pacts to further boost their security alliance and would continue to fight aggression in disputed Asian waters in an obvious rebuke of China.
Ishiba and Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. also discussed in Manila the impact of the barrage of tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump and China’s countermeasures on the global economy and free trade system, the Japanese premier said in a news conference with Marcos after their talks.
