Manila Bulletin
|July 27 2025
United States President Donald Trump has accepted the invitation from President Marcos to come to the Philippines next year when Manila hosts the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit.
This was disclosed by Philippine Ambassador to Washington Jose Manuel Romualdez in a recent interview over NewsWatch Plus PH.
"So, definitely we're confident that we will take President Trump's word that he will come to the Philippines to visit. And I think it's going to be a good one because as I said, we have a good personal relationship. And I can see that that's going to develop even better and down the road," he said.
Romualdez shared that Trump himself confirmed his interest to visit Manila during a tete-a-tete at the Oval Office after they had lunch with Marcos.
