If we create a precedent in the Middle East where a nation-state can decide that they are going to control an international waterway and, if you don't pay them, blow up your ships, we have created a very dangerous precedent.
We can and we must identify and map this threat and rebuild our counterterrorism architecture to defeat it.
So many people in positions of power have repeatedly dismissed acts of violence and even terrorism as legitimate forms of political expression, so long as they served a left-wing cause.
And so we’re glad to be with you today and to reaffirm that relationship and our commitment to the U.S. and Philippines’ relationship.
