The Philippines is working on a “mutually beneficial” strategy to boost economic ties with the U.S. under President-elect Donald Trump, Manila’s envoy to Washington said.
“Our interests are very much aligned,” Ambassador Jose Manuel Romualdez said in an interview Thursday at his Washington office. “I am convinced and confident that there will be no major changes, especially on the defense side.”
“Definitely, the economic part of our relationship is where we really need to be watchful of,” Romualdez separately told foreign correspondents in Manila during an online briefing on Friday.
