Mr Duterte said he had "never approached America" for help and was "not aware of that until they arrived," when he was asked about US support to fight the pro-Isis militants in Marawi City, on the island of Mindanao. The cooperation between the longtime allies in the battle is significant because Mr Duterte, who came to power a year ago, has taken a hostile stance towards Washington and has vowed to eject US military trainers and advisers from his country.
