VIENTIANE, Laos, Sept. 8 (UPI) -- President Barack Obama and Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte met in a brief exchange of pleasantries Wednesday, two days after Duterte had a profanity-laced outburst against the U.S. president.
The two men met and shook hands before a dinner for world leaders at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The meeting was brief and not substantive, White House officials said.
