The encounter took place just before a dinner during a summit of regional leaders in Laos, officials indicated. "They met at the holding room and they were the last people to leave the holding room. I can’t say how long they met," Foreign Secretary Perfecto Yasay, travelling with Duterte, told reporters shortly afterwards. "In a terse statement, the White House said only that "Obama had a brief discussion with President Duterte before the ASEAN Gala Dinner in the leaders’ hold space. Son of a whore, I will curse you in that forum," Duterte told reporters when asked about his message for Obama.
