US President realDonaldTrump shrugs off the Philippines' decision to end the two-decades military agreement with the United States. President Rodrigo Duterte earlier claimed his counterpart was 'trying to save' the VFA

US President Donald Trump on Thursday said he is"fine" with the Philippines' decision to terminate the two-decades military agreement with the United States.

With six months left before the VFA will be effectively scrapped, Trump underscored the hand US extended to the Philippines to combat terrorism, claiming its troops"came in and literally single-handedly" saved the country from ISIS three years ago."My relationship, as you know, is a very good one with their leader. And we’ll see what happens. They’ll have to tell me that," Trump said.

Malacañang on Tuesday said there's nothing the US can do to salvage the VFA, adding that Duterte will never accept any invitation to visit America.
