Manila Bulletin
|March 28, 2025
The Philippines is not worried about United States (US) President Donald Trump’s looming reciprocal tariffs on several countries, given its minimal trade deficit with American goods, according to Trade Secretary Cristina Roque.
While she admitted that the government is still awaiting more information about the matter, Roque said it appears to be “business as usual” for the Philippines.
“We feel that we will not be affected. We’re allies, and also deficit with them is very minimal,” Roque told reporters on Thursday, March 27.
“So, it’s not something that we can worry about for now. So, we’ll just continue what we’re doing,” she added.
