PRRD shrugs off US Senate bill

Pres. Rodrigo Duterte states that it is too early to comment on the bill of United States (US) Senators Dick Durbin and Patrick Leahy that denies entry to the US of Philippine officials behind the jailing of Sen. Leila de Lima. The proposed law is yet to be approved by the US Senate Committee on Appropriations. The Chief Executive expressed that he has no intention to reciprocally disallow the US legislators’ entry to the Philippines and would only talk to Pres. Donald Trump when it becomes a matter between the two states.
