US withdraws from Batanes port development in the Philippines, PPA takes responsibility.
The US military will not be involved in the development of a port in the Philippines' Batanes islands near Taiwan, local governor Marilou Cayco announced. The US initially agreed to help with the port project, but later withdrew. The Chinese embassy in Manila has previously emphasized that Taiwan is an internal matter for China and should not be an issue between China and the Philippines. The Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) will now be responsible for the port development.
