Philippine President Marcos plans to meet U.S. President Trump to discuss immigration and the Typhon missile system, amid ongoing tensions with China over the South China Sea.
Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced plans to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump to discuss issues, including immigration, which he believes could affect many Filipinos in the U.S. While no date was given, Marcos aimed to influence U.S. immigration policy.
Marcos also addressed the U.S. Typhon missile system, deployed in the Philippines as part of military exercises. He stated he would return it to the U.S. if China ceased its "aggressive and coercive" behaviour in the South China Sea, including territorial claims and harassment of Filipino fishermen.
Tensions between the Philippines and China have escalated due to territorial disputes. The Chinese embassy in Manila has not commented on Marcos' remarks.
The Typhon missile system, deployed in April 2024, remains in the Philippines, with launchers recently relocated to an undisclosed location.
