President Biden affirms his mark

Now, no one is sure that the White House under Donald Trump will maintain this trilateral meeting, dialogue and consultation framework. For a long time, Mr. Trump has not been interested in non-bilateral forum frameworks, and has not attached importance to building a new political and security situation in the Indo- Pacific region according to the architecture and under the leadership of the United States like Mr. Biden.

US President Joe Biden

The formation and promotion of a trilateral dialogue mechanism between the US, Japan and the Philippines on political security, military and defense is one of Mr. Biden's outstanding foreign policy marks in his term that is about to end, along with his elevation of the US's strategic military alliance with Japan and South Korea and the reaching of the US-UK-Australia trilateral agreement (AUKUS).

With the recent meeting with Mr. Ishiba and Mr. Marcos, President Biden intended to affirm this unique mark and at the same time strengthen the important strategic significance of the trilateral cooperation forum framework between the US, Japan and the Philippines for the fundamental strategic interests of the US in the immediate and long-term in the East Asia region, the Indo- Pacific region and in dealing with China. The more solidly this forum framework is consolidated and the more practical it proves to be, the harder it will be for Mr. Trump to neglect or cancel. Since this framework is truly beneficial to the US, Mr. Trump will probably not abolish it but operate it in a different way to create his own mark.
