The Philippines has told the
United States it is suspending its bid to break off a key
MILITARY pact, the two allies said Tuesday in a sharp turnaround of President Rodrigo Duterte's foreign policy.
Duterte in February gave notice to
Washington he was axing the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) after accusing the US of interference in his internationally condemned narcotics crackdown.
Philippine Foreign Secretary Teodoro Locsin said Tuesday the plan has been put on hold for at least six months.
