"There are many government agencies in the Philippine cabinet that we have established long-standing relationships with. And they still exist," said Mr. Kirby.
According to him, Duterte "is the leader of his country, and we respect that".
“We intend to maintain good relations with the government, as well as with him himself,” - Kirbi said.
On October 31, Reuters reported, citing Senator Ben Cardin's aide, that the US State Department had suspended arms deals with the Philippine government. In response, President Duterte called those behind the decision "monkeys"./.
