Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte congratulated Donald Trump on his election win and said on Wednesday he now wished to stop quarreling with the United States, recalling his anger at the Obama administration for what he and many considered criticism of his leadership. In recent months Duterte has threatened to cut defense pacts and end military joint drills. He went as far as to publicly announce his separation from the United States as an ally. On Wednesday morning that tone has changed.
