MANILA, Philippines — A trade delegation from the United States — formed by US President Joe Biden himself — will arrive in March 2024, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced on Monday.

Fresh from his US trip to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit, Marcos told his Cabinet secretaries of the different agreements he had brought home, which he hoped to see more of in the coming year.
