MANILA (Reuters) -The Philippines is planning to negotiate with Washington to lower tariffs after the United States moved to impose higher 20% duties on goods imported from Manila, its ambassador to the United States said on Thursday.
"We are still planning to negotiate that down," Jose Manuel Romualdez said in a phone message.
