MANILA, Philippines — President Duterte claimed he raised the issue of extrajudicial killings during the Association of Southeast Asian Nations-European Union (ASEAN-EU) summit, but European Council President Donald Tusk brushed it aside. Duterte lamented that critics of his war on drugs are focusing too much on killings but not on the negative effects of drug addiction. Give it to the persons you believe who will tell you the truth,” Duterte said. Asked if Tusk talked to him about EU donations, Duterte replied: “Forget it. We will survive.”The President has assailed the EU for calling him out on the deaths tied to his war on illegal drugs.
