MANILA - Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said on Tuesday his country was not cutting ties with its allies, a day after he called for the withdrawal of US special forces.
"We are not going to cut our umbilical cord to countries we are allied with," Duterte said in a speech at a Philippine airforce event.
Duterte also said the Philippines does not intend to fight any other country.
