President Joe Biden hosts trilateral summit with Philippines, Japanese leaders - UPI.com
President Joe Biden Thursday is hosting the first-ever trilateral summit with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishidan and Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., to strengthen strategic alliances in the Indo-Pacific.
The addition of four new locations to the #EDCA military deal brings the total number of sites under the agreement to nine. This is the largest military footprint the US has had in the Philippines in 30 years, since 1992 when the Philippines ordered American forces to withdraw from #SubicBay and #ClarkAirBase.

U.S. military poised to return to Subic Bay, counter China's presence
The U.S. military will likely return to Subic Bay 30 years after relinquishing what was once their largest military base in Asia due to concerns over China's increasing maritime assertiveness, a top official of the local body overseeing the free port zone said.
