"I am hopeful that this unshakeable alliance, tested in war and peace, will be a force for good, blazing a path of prosperity and amity in the region and on both sides of the Pacific," the President added.
Trump recaptured the White House after defeating Kamala Harris in the recent presidential election.

"We hope we can improve that.
We are a national security ally of the United States. I'm sure they're well aware that our economic security, if our economy does better,, then we can be a more dependable ally," Recto said.
