On Wednesday, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced that the forthcoming trilateral summit involving the United States, Philippines, and Japan will entail an agreement to uphold security and ensure freedom of navigation in the South China Sea.
Marcos departed for Washington in the afternoon to engage in discussions with U.S. President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
Earlier in the day, the Philippine leader informed reporters that while there would be a focus on addressing South China Sea concerns, the primary objective of the summit remains enhancing economic cooperation among the three allied nations.

The U.S. Pentagon and President Biden have strongly condemned the International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The ICC's charges against the Israeli leaders, including crimes against humanity and war crimes, have sparked a wave of criticism from Israel and the U.S., with both sides rejecting the court's jurisdiction. The ICC's move follows Senate threats of sanctions against the court, adding further diplomatic tension.
