The recent first-ever trilateral summit involving the United States, Japan, and the Philippines has marked a significant milestone in diplomatic relations among the three nations. During the summit, a new trilateral agreement was signed, aimed at enhancing security cooperation but explicitly stated not to target any specific nation. This summit, which is the first of its kind, was deemed successful and is part of broader efforts to strengthen ties in the Indo-Pacific region. Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. emphasized that the agreement is not directed at any particular country. Additionally, the mutual defense treaty between the Philippines and the United States will be invoked if a Filipino soldier is harmed by a foreign power. However, analysts suggest that the summit has escalated tensions over the South China Sea.
