First U.S.-Japan-Philippines trilateral to address China's 'gray zone' tactics
==========

U.S. President Joe Biden will host the first trilateral summit with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on April 11. The trilateral aims to address China's 'gray zone' tactics in the South China Sea. Unlike the Quad and AUKUS groupings, the trilateral does not have an announced name or acronym. The summit seeks to deepen economic ties and discuss American treaty commitments in the face of Beijing's actions.
