The Philippine's uproarious president, Rodrigo Duterte, has had a contentious relationship with the European Union.

In 2017, he referred to EU officials as "stupid European Union guys," while threatening to reject all European aid, even though the EU was one of the Philippines' largest providers of development assistance.

He also threatened to expel all European diplomats within 24 hours after Brussels criticized major human rights abuses committed by his government.
