Duterte: 'Mr. Obama, you can go to hell'
Published October 4, 2016 6:08pm
President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday hit out anew at the United States and the European Union in yet another tirade against criticisms of his administration's crime war.
"Mr. Obama, you can go to hell," he said, referring to American president Barack Obama.
"EU, you can choose purgatory," he added.
Duterte had made numerous international headlines over the past few weeks over his near-daily rants against groups who have spoken out about the rising death toll in his war on drugs.
The president brought up the issue again in his speech at the Sulong Pilipinas Local Governance Series while justifying why he has decided to end joint military exercises with the United States.
Filipino and American troops began their latest joint exercise on Tuesday. Duterte had said that the scheduled exercises would be the last under his term.
