President Donald Trump announced a new trade agreement with the Philippines after meeting with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. at the White House. The deal sets a 19% tariff on Philippine goods entering the U.S., a slight reduction from the previous 20% rate, while U.S. exports to the Philippines will face no tariffs. The agreement has sparked debate, with some calling it a modest win for the Philippines and others criticizing it as largely symbolic and potentially harmful to Philippine industries. The talks also touched on broader U.S.-Philippines relations, including security cooperation and countering China's influence in the Indo-Pacific. Philippine officials have stated they will continue to push for further tariff reductions.
