Biden will meet the president of the Philippines.
At a time when Philippine ships are threatened by China, US President Joe Biden will host his Philippine counterpart, Ferdinand Marcos.
Following preparations for the first joint military exercises between the United States and the Philippines since 1990, Marcos paid a visit to Washington. The Philippines granted the United States access to four other camps on her island in the same year.
The threat China poses to Taiwan and the contested South China Sea is something the United States is working to stop. In order to address the issues they are now facing, President Marcos stated that he anticipates forging a strong partnership with the United States. The president's trip marks the first trip to the US by a Philippine leader in ten years.
