Defending and securing the peace is what it’s all about, and there’s big plans for joint Coast Guard activities and trilateral military exercises with Japan. They’re even talking about coordinating ballistic missile and air defense capabilities – now that’s some serious strategizing!
But wait, there’s more! The U.S. and Japan are teaming up with the Philippines to help modernize their military and boost their disaster response efforts. And get this – they’re launching new initiatives to provide humanitarian relief for the good people of the Philippines in times of need.
And when it comes to China throwing their weight around in the South China Sea, the U.S. is not backing down. We’re showing our support for the Philippines with more military cooperation and financial assistance. We even joined forces with Japan and Australia for a naval exercise in the area. That’ll teach those Chinese Communist Party folks a thing or two about who’s boss!
Not to mention all the sweet deals we’re making with the Philippines on infrastructure projects, clean energy, ports, and more. The U.S. is even setting up a whole new office over there. It’s like a big economic love fest between us and the Philippines.
And of course, President Biden and President Marcos are going to talk about spreading those democratic values, like respecting human rights and labor rights. Can’t leave out the warm and fuzzy stuff, right?
So, watch out Indo-Pacific, because Biden and the Philippines are teaming up and getting things done. You can bet they’ll be making some big waves!
