Now, no one can be sure whether the upcoming White House under Donald Trump will maintain this framework of trilateral meetings, dialogue, and consultations. Trump has long been uninterested in non-bilateral forum frameworks and has not prioritized building a new political and security landscape in the Indo- Pacific region under the architecture and leadership of the United States, unlike Biden.
US President Joe Biden
Establishing and promoting a trilateral dialogue mechanism between the US, Japan, and the Philippines on political security , military, and defense matters is one of Biden's most notable foreign policy achievements in his即将结束 term, along with elevating the US's strategic military alliances with Japan and South Korea and achieving the trilateral agreement between the US, the UK, and Australia (AUKUS).
With his recent meetings with Mr. Ishiba and Mr. Marcos, President Biden intentionally affirmed this unique mark and simultaneously reinforced the important strategic significance of the trilateral cooperation framework between the US, Japan, and the Philippines for the fundamental immediate and long-term strategic interests of the US in East Asia, the Indo- Pacific region, and in countering China. The more solidly this framework is strengthened and the more practical it proves to be, the more difficult it will be for Mr. Trump to neglect or abolish it. Because this framework is truly beneficial to the US, Mr. Trump will likely not abolish it but operate it in a different way to create his own unique mark.
