Marcos von den Philippinen sagt, er habe über ein Bündnis mit Trump gesprochen

SS: Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr said he and U.S. President-elect Donald Trump discussed their countries’ alliance and their desire to strengthen that deep relationship in a phone call today.

As per Ferdinand, Trump was very friendly with him. Interestingly, Lloyd Austin also visited Phillipines today and reassured USA’s commitment to protect Phillipines under the defence pact.

The fact that a Biden admin and Trump have reiterated USA’s commitment to protect Phillipines is good news for Phillipines and bad news for China.

[One must remember that Xi had asked Biden to respect Chinese red lines which included to not interfere with bilateral issues between China and its neighbours](https://www.reddit.com/r/geopolitics/s/vzilLbeqtv), wonder how Xi and CCP are gonna react.
