DUTERTE GETS TRUDEAU A SEAT AT SECURITY EVENT

Rodrigo Duterte went “out on a limb” to secure a key invitation for Justin Trudeau to attend a prestigious AsiaPacific security event alongside powerful world leaders, government officials say. But one senior insider insists the Philippine president’s helpful gesture won’t have any impact on whether Trudeau confronts him about humanrights violations in the southeast Asian country that have shocked people around the world.

Trudeau has hinted he might bring up the issue of human rights with Duterte, if he gets the opportunity.

Trudeau will join leaders from 18 countries, including China, Russia and the United States, to discuss security issues.
