The Maute group and Abu Sayyaf\u00a0launched a siege on Marawi on May 23, sending residents fleeing and raising concerns of extremists gaining traction in the country. In response, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte declared martial law in the southern portion of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The relationship between the United States and the Philippines has strained significantly under Duterte. He has repeatedly launched insults at American leaders\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Duterte infamously referred to former President Barack Obama as a &#8220;son of a whore&#8221; in response to the U.S. leader\u2019s remarks over the escalating drug war in the Philippines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Duterte also vowed to expel U.S. military trainers and advisers from the Philippines. Additionally, he sought to strengthen ties with China and Russia, further straining the relationship between Manila and Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just a day after the Washington announced U.S. forces were providing technical assistance at the request of the Philippine government, <a class=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/news.abs-cbn.com\/news\/06\/11\/17\/duterte-i-did-not-seek-us-support-in-marawi-siege\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Link: null\">Duterte said at a press conference<\/a>he\u00a0&#8220;never approached America&#8221; for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the souring relations between Manila and Washington, the U.S. continues to provide support in the fight against terrorism in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Marines recently conducted joint urban warfare training with Philippine troops. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":41586,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":69,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":{"2":{"categories":["your-military","news"],"primary_category":"your-military"}}},"categories":[12,69],"tags":[],"coauthors":[264],"class_list":["post-18110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-your-marine-corps"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"B5FYKD43GNCTNBCMW6UH4WFO34","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2017\/06\/30\/us-marines-hold-joint-training-with-philippine-troops-amid-escalating-tension\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
