Duterte said he has instructed his defense chief not to prepare for joint exercises with the U.S. military next year as he moved to realize his threat to scrap the high-profile symbol of his country's treaty alliance. Duterte, however, reiterated that he will not abrogate a 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty with Washington. (AP Photo/Bullit Marquez)
