Referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. (text: CR S6739)
Introduced September 18, 2025 by John Peter Ricketts · Last progress September 18, 2025
Reaffirms U.S. support for the Philippines and condemns actions by the People’s Republic of China in the South China Sea; it celebrates the 74th anniversary of the U.S.–Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty and urges deeper defense cooperation, continued U.S. responses to Chinese escalations, and protection of freedom of navigation in the Indo‑Pacific.
The measure is a non‑binding Senate resolution that records background incidents, highlights U.S.-Philippine treaties and joint activities, and calls for continued diplomatic and security engagement with regional partners to deter coercion and preserve a free and open Indo‑Pacific.
