Energy and food security could be on the agenda in the bilateral meeting between President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. and US President Joe Biden in Washington next month.United States Ambassador to the Philippines Marykay Carlson said the specific topics of the meeting are still being discussed. But she mentioned the ''123 Agreement,'' which is a landmark deal that would allow Washington to export nuclear technology and material to Manila.
Carlson says she sees the meeting as historic and will also set the direction for the future. ''I think that security will be one of the issues that will be discussed but it won’t be the only issue," she said.
