DUTERTE TO BAN 2 US SOLONS

President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday threatened to ban from the Philippines two United States (US) congressmen, who have expressed opposition to his war on illegal drugs. Duterte revealed his plan to instruct the Bureau of Immigration to ban “two senators,” apparently referring to US congressmen Randy Hultgren and James McGovern. This comes after Hultgren and McGovern, co-chairs of Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, urged US President Donald Trump to express America’s “profound concern” on the alleged extrajudicial killings in the drug war.
