FOCAP IN ACTION
“This exclusive interview I did with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo during his visit to Manila in 2019 when he committed that an attack on the Philippines’ maritime territory in the South China Sea would trigger provisions of the 1951 US-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty is quite memorable to me.
“’China can’t claim all of the — all of the water. They can’t claim an ocean,’” I remember Mr Pompeo saying.”
