Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte told the United States on Saturday to prepare for the eventual repeal of a military deal that allows Washington to deploy troops and equipment for exercises in the country.
Duterte also said the Philippines can survive "without American money" after a U.S. aid agency put on hold a decision to fund anti-poverty programs in the country.
"We do not need you," Duterte said in a news conference after arriving from visits to Cambodia and Singapore.
"Prepare to leave the Philippines. Prepare for the eventual repeal or abrogation of the Philippines’ Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA)", he added.
