South China Sea Dispute: The U.S. Navy is aggressively expanding its presence in the Philippines by building new repair facilities for smaller vessels near the highly contested Second Thomas Shoal in the South China Sea. This strategic move intensifies regional tensions as it directly challenges China’s vast territorial claims despite international rulings against Beijing. The facilities, located in Palawan and Oyster Bay, are expected to support Philippine forces and bolster joint U.S.-Philippine military operations, signaling a strong pushback against China’s aggression. With clashes already frequent in the area, this escalation could reshape the balance of power in Southeast Asia.

President Trump has issued new tariff letters to six more countries—Philippines, Brunei, Moldova, Algeria, Iraq, and Libya—via Truth Social, with 20–30% duties set to begin August 1. This follows his April plan to reset global trade, which was paused for 90 days. Trump warns rates may shift depending on diplomatic ties. With only two deals struck so far, the unilateral tariff campaign risks global retaliation and further disruption to supply chains amid rising trade tensions.

Japan is set to export six Abukuma-class destroyer escorts to the Philippines in a landmark move aimed at countering China’s growing aggression in the South China Sea. The aging destroyers, in service for over 30 years, will significantly boost the Philippines’ naval capabilities, which currently lack such firepower. Defense ministers from both nations agreed to the deal in Singapore last month. Tokyo will frame the upgrades as a joint development project to bypass Japan’s pacifist export rules. The Philippines will inspect the ships this summer. This strategic partnership comes amid intensifying maritime tensions, as both Tokyo and Manila face growing challenges from Beijing’s territorial claims. The deal marks a new chapter in Asia-Pacific military realignment and is expected to draw a sharp response from China.
