MANILA (Reuters) - Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday called for
the withdrawal of U.S. military from a restive southern island, fearing an
American troop presence could complicate offensives against Islamist
militants notorious for beheading Westerners.
Duterte, who was in the spotlight last week over his televised tirade
against the United States and President Barack Obama, said special forces
now training Filipino troops were high-value targets for the Islamic State-
linked Abu Sayyaf as counter-insurgency operations intensify.
“These special forces, they have to go,” Duterte said in a speech during
an oath-taking ceremony for new officials.
“I do not want a rift with America. But they have to go.”
He added: “Americans, they will really kill them, they will try to kidnap
them to get ransom.” | V*****2 发帖数: 7930 | 2 因为美国人除了送了两艘退役的军舰,就拿不出啥援助了,还一个劲地让菲律宾和中国
