PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte now wants to enhance relations with the United States under the Trump White House and is prepared to “give all” to Washington except military deals. Speaking before the Filipino community in Naypyidaw, Myanmar on Sunday night, Duterte said he was “okay” with Trump and was eyeing a better working relationship with his US counterpart. “President Trump and I are on good terms. This other one (Trump), he said, ‘You’re right,’” Duterte said. Duterte said he was ready to “give all, whatever it is” under the Trump administration – except for military alliances.
