Trump invites Philippines President Duterte to White House... DETAILS

President Donald Trump has invited Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte to the White House, saying the visit is necessary to work together against North Korea.

Chief of Staff Priebus stressed the importance of working with allies in the Pacific in the wake of threats of a nuclear attack from North Korea, and that includes Duterte, despite accusations that he has committed human rights abuses.

Since he became President last year, Duterte has encouraged the *extrajudicial killings of thousands* of citizens suspected of dealing or using drugs.
