Philippine leader Rodrigo Duterte has told US President Barack Obama to "go to hell", saying the United States had refused to sell some weapons to his country but that Russia and China were willing suppliers.

In his latest salvo, Duterte said he was realigning his foreign policy because the United States had failed the Philippines and added that at some point "I will break up with America". It was not clear what he meant by "break up".
