find there until berlin. thank you very much for joining us. united states president has plunged to uphold mutual defense agreements with the philippines in japan and the face of growing military assertiveness by china job. i made the promise summit with the philippine president fair in marcos, junior and japanese prime minister for me. ok, sure to at the white house. it's the 1st such summit between the 3 nations leading has made territorial, cleans undisputed waters in the south china sea between the philippines and japan was listened now to some what bind not to say at the summit. i want to be clear, the united states, united states defense competitors to japan and to the philippines, our iron clad or our class. as i said before,

any attack on filipino aircraft specials are armed forces and south china sea would invoke our mutual defense treaty to our washington correspondent janelle general. do milan unexplained? what upholding the defense agreements in the event of conflict with china with mean? well, not today to glib about at aaron, but part of why this historical trilateral summit is happening in the 1st place is to increase the likelihood that these parties that these countries will never actually have to find out what it means to have these commitments made reality now it's important to realize that what they're trying to do here is really try and show china that attack, seeing that these are sort of defense a line says, mean that attacking the japan or the philippines would mean a great risk to china itself. now you really seem to think that that china is

actively seeking war. it's behavior in the south. china sea has been coercive and bullying. sure. but they've mostly been employing what's known as gray zone tactics . so tactics that fall just below the threshold of military confrontation. now in case there was an accidental escalation of the tensions in the, in the pacific. most analysts, so it seemed to think about the ceiling on such a conflict would be low just because of their, our mutual defense treaties and place doesn't automatically mean that these countries will be dragged into world war 3. the mutual defense treaties just mostly outline that washington and manila have to consult with each other. in the face of a threats washington in tokyo would have to do the same as the japan where the aggrieved a party in this case. so really what, so this summit is trying to do is up to act as

as for japan and the u. s. also trying to get closer to the philippines. so they're also trying to put together a joint coast guard patrol, but perhaps just as important as a visa security initiatives that you cannot make initiatives are going to be quite significant for the philippines as well. so japan and are you was have pledged a high grade investments in the philippines and economic core door in the northern ireland of lucio and investments in telecommunications and modernizing ports in upgrading railways and improving connectivity in order to be able to show that the philippines does not have to fear economic co, worse and from china that standing up to be ging doesn't necessarily mean that the philippine will have to be worried about the loss of investment from china as it
