U.S. Senate Bill seeks to ban entry to the U.S. of Philippine Government Official involved in the Imprisonment of De Lima

A Bill has been filed and approved for deliberation in the U.S. Senate to ban entry to the U.S. of any government official involved in the imprisonment of Senator Leila De Lima.

This is certainly aimed not just at the Duterte government but President Rodrigo Duterte himself since there is a standing invitation by Donald Trump for him to visit the U.S.

Now the Bill still has a long way to go before it passes into law, but the fact that it has been filed shows that Duterte has strong opponents in the U.S. Senate, and if nothing else it shows that they will continue to hound him on the issue of De Lima should he continue with his visit to the U.S.

Anyway, this bears watching on how the Bill will go in the U.S. Legislature, how the President will react with this news and how it will affect his planned visit to the U.S.

Also it looks kinda strange how the U.S. Legislature keeps attacking the President, and yet their military wants to be as close with our armed forces as much as possible. Remember that they are holding a Joint Exercise equivalent to almost every single day next year with our armed forces.

As supposed allies, they do not recognize our territories in the South China Sea (SCS) and abandoned the PNoy government against the Chinese in Panatag Shoal in 2012.
