The US and Philippine air forces conducted a joint patrol and air-intercept drills over the disputed Scarborough Shoal, marking their first under President Trump’s new term. Two US B-1 bombers and three Philippine FA-50 jets participated, enhancing coordination and combat readiness. Tensions remain high after Chinese jets fired flares at a Philippine aircraft last year. The US reaffirmed its commitment to defending the Philippines against attacks in the South China Sea.
