In dialect profoundly abnormal for any world pioneer — let alone from a nearby partner like the Philippines — Duterte told correspondents in Manila that Obama ought not utilize their arranged meeting to scrutinize the Philippine's war on medications.
"You should be aware," Duterte said of Obama, as indicated by the AP. "Don't simply toss questions." Using the Tagalog expression for "offspring of the devil," he said, "Putang ina, I will swear at you in that gathering."
The remark came after a correspondent asked him how he'll clarify the extrajudicial killings in the Philippines, where more than 2,000 suspected medication merchants and clients have been executed following the end of June.
Obama, who is in Asia for gatherings with world pioneers, was planned to meet Duterte on Tuesday evening. Yet, when requested response to the remarks before he left China for Laos, Obama made no mystery about his hesitations about the extrajudicial killings.
"Battling narco-trafficking is intense," Obama told correspondents on Monday. "In any case, we will dependably affirm the need due procedure and to participate in that battle against medications in a way that is reliable with fundamental universal standards.
"Thus without a doubt, if and when we have a meeting, this is something that will be raised, and my desire, my trust is, is that it could be managed productively."
Rather than meeting with Duterte on Tuesday evening, Obama is presently planned to meet with President Park of South Korea.
Obama was asked at a question and answer session in China toward the end of the G20 summit what he thought about Duterte's remarks.
"Plainly, he's a beautiful person," Obama said.
"What's more, what I've educated my group to do is to converse with their Philippine partners to discover is this, truth be told, a period where we can have some helpful, beneficial discussions."
Obama focused on that the Filipino individuals were "some of our dearest companions and associates, and the Philippines is an arrangement partner of our own."
Be that as it may, he said he needed to ensure "that in case I'm having a meeting that it's really gainful and we're completing something."
