WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday brushed aside the decision of Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte to end a decades-old military agreement with United States, saying he didn't really mind and it would save money.
Duterte announced the termination of the two-decade-old Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) on Tuesday, a move U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper called "unfortunate." The decision will take effect in 180 days.
