MANILA, Philippines – All eyes are on the United States as American citizens elect their new leader on November 5, 2024.
The fight is now between former president Donald Trump — who was found guilty of falsifying documents to cover up payment to a porn star — and Vice President Kamala Harris, who took the mantle following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race. Whatever the result will be, its impact will definitely be felt beyond the borders of the global superpower — including in the Philippines.
On Friday, September 6, Rappler editor-at-large Marites Vitug speaks with Philippine Ambassador to the US Jose Manuel Romualdez about what it is like to navigate his work under the two presidents, and the prospects of the alliance between the US and the Philippines post-Biden.
How will a Trump or Harris presidency impact foreign policy in the region, specifically on issues related to the South China Sea?
