It has been Reported that President Obama of America plans
to push for closer economic ties with Laos and Southeast Asia, and raise
human rights abuses in the one-party communist state, which suppresses
freedom of expression and the media.
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, before he
flew to Laos on Monday for the summit, warned Obama not to question him about
extrajudicial killings. More than 2,000 suspected drug dealers and users have
been killed since Duterte launched a war on drugs after taking office two
months ago.
Duterte said Obama must not throw
questions at him, or else, “son of a bitch, I will swear at you in that
forum,” the Associated Press reported.
“Clearly he’s a colorful guy,” Obama said at a
news conference in China when asked about Duterte's comment.
