U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Washington and Manila are on the verge of finalizing a “big” trade deal, as he hosted Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. at the White House. The deal signals deepening U.S.-Philippines economic ties and strategic alignment amid intensifying U.S.-China rivalry. Marcos, the first ASEAN leader to meet Trump in his second term, highlighted regional cooperation as the U.S. seeks to bolster its Indo-Pacific presence and counter Beijing’s growing influence in Southeast Asia.    #Trump #Marcos #USPhilippines #TradeDeal #WhiteHouseMeeting #ASEAN #IndoPacific #USChinaRivalry #EconomicTies #BreakingNews #Xi Jinping #StrategicAlliance #ForeignPolicy #TrumpMarcosSummit #BilateralRelations #PhilippinesNews #SouthChinaSea #USAsiaPolicy #ManilaWashington #TradeAgreement #MarcosInUS #Geopolitics  Also Read  Donald Trump Reiterates India-Pakistan Conflict: Says 5 Jets Were Shot Down During Operation Sindoor :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-reiterates-india-pakistan-conflicts-says-5-jets-were-shot-down-7805649.html?ref=DMDesc  US President Donald Trump Sues Wall Street Journal For $10 Billion In 2003 Epstein Report :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-sues-wall-street-journal-for-10-billion-in-2003-epstein-report-7805627.html?ref=DMDesc  Is Donald Trump Visiting Pakistan In September?
