President Obama cancels visit to The Philippines after President Duterte called him “a son of a whore.”

Over and under on how long before Donald Trump is on Twitter over this?

Duterte and Trump must have the same media playbook.

President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines has expressed regret for calling Barack Obama a “son of a whore” - a remark that led to the US leader cancelling their meeting during a regional summit in Laos.

In a statement read by his spokesman, Duterte said the remark was not intended as a personal insult. “While the immediate cause was my strong comments to certain press questions that elicited concern and distress, we also regret that it came across as a personal attack on the US president,” Ernesto Abella quoted Duterte as saying.

He added that a meeting with the US had been “mutually agreed upon to be moved to a later date”.
