Donald Trump's approach to geopolitics, including U.S.-Philippines relations, can be characterized by a blend of transactional diplomacy, economic pragmatism, and a focus on strategic alliances.
Donald Trump’s approach to U.S.-Philippines relations could offer both opportunities and challenges. On one hand, his administration might provide a robust military and economic support, strengthen counterterrorism efforts, and help stand against China’s aggressive actions in the South China Sea, which aligns with Philippine strategic interests. On the other hand, Trump’s transactional diplomacy and hardline stance on China poses a lot risks, including potential strain on Philippine sovereignty, economic dependencies, and regional stability.
For the Philippines, the key takeaway is the importance of maintaining a balanced foreign policy. Leveraging the benefits of its alliance with the U.S. while cultivating strong ties with other nations, including China and ASEAN partners, would ensure greater flexibility and resilience in navigating geopolitical dynamics. By staying neutral and prioritizing national interests, the Philippines can maximize benefits from all sides while minimizing risks tied to global power rivalries.
