MANILA, Philippines — Malacañang on Thursday declined to make public the schedule of US President Donald Trump’s attendance at the 49th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit next week.
In a press briefing, Palace Press Officer Claire Castro explained that details of Trump’s schedule remain confidential due to potential security concerns.
“At this time, we cannot provide any details—nor are we able to do so, for security reasons. Should any details be released, we will leave it to the DFA to make that announcement,” she said in Filipino.
