US VP Kamala Harris pledges support for Manila as she visits island of Palawan👈👈

US Vice President Kamala Harris has visited the Philippine island of Palawan, near waters claimed by China. She is the highest-ranking US official to visit the area in the disputed South China Sea. During her three day-trip to the Philippines, she reaffirmed US commitment under a 1951 mutual defence treaty to come to Manila’s aid should it come under attack. She also underscored US support for a historic 2016 UN arbitral tribunal ruling rejecting Beijing's expansive South China Sea claims.
