BAYAN REITERATES CALL FOR REMOVAL OF US MILITARY FACILITIES IN THE PHILIPPINES AS TRUMP SEEKS CONTROL OF GREENLAND AND PANAMA CANAL
Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) reiterated the demand for the urgent removal of US military bases and troops in the country in light of the absurd, baseless, and provocative claims of US President-elect Donald Trump over Greenland, Panama Canal, and Canada.
Trump’s recent pronouncements clearly prove that the US government does not stand for peace and the protection of freedom, and that it is ready to disregard international rules, diplomacy and decency in order to assert its geopolitical interests.
The ascendancy of Trump is a reminder that the expanded US military presence in the Philippines poses grave danger to our security and long-term stability in the region. Trump could use the Philippines as a staging ground to aggressively assert control and hegemony over the Pacific, the West PH Sea, and South China Sea as part of his government’s containment policy against China.
Trump showed the hypocrisy of the US government which accuses its rivals of making illegal territorial incursions. He also confirmed our assertion that the intensified military activities of the US in our country and in the region is not motivated by altruism and a special bond of friendship but the selfish promotion of US interest.
We should not allow this madman Trump to stoke conflict and further destabilize the region with his imperialist agenda. We blame the Marcos Jr presidency for turning the country into an extension of the US military network and for making it more convenient for the US to expand its influence in the region at the expense of our sovereignty.
