Rappler Talk: The US Ambassador on Southeast Asian security

From Rappler (Sep 8): Rappler Talk: The US Ambassador on Southeast Asian security

What role does the US expect to play as the APEC summit nears?




In 2013, the ​Obama administration announced the ​"Pivot to Asia", ​a foreign policy strategic "re-balancing" of U.S. interests from Europe and the Middle East toward East Asia. But what does that really mean​ in an increasingly complex world?

A lot has happened: the devaluation of the yuan has impacted economic markets. The conflict in the South China Sea pits the Philippines against China.

And as 9/11 nears, global security and ISIS' moves in Southeast Asia are prime issues as well.

Rappler talks to US Ambassador to the Philippines Philip Goldberg as Manila prepares for the APEC summit.
