Duterte kids media in front of Trump: You are spies


President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday joked with members of the media who covered the start of his bilateral meeting with US President Donald Trump that they were spies.

The comment was made as the media pool for the bilateral meeting was being ushered out of the room.

A female reporter from the United States asked Trump if he would discuss human rights with Duterte.

“We are not answering any... We are in a bilateral meeting. Maybe a press conference will follow. Thank you very much. We will be talking about matters of both reference to the Philippines and US,” Duterte said.

“With you around guys, you are the spies,” he added. —NB, GMA News
