EDCA
Sa gitna ng matinding laban sa pagitan ng US at Iran, sinabi ng Department of National Defense na hindi target ng Iran ang mga site ng EDCA sa Pilipinas at walang kailangang pagrepaso sa kasunduan. Ayon kay DND spokesperson Arsenio Andolong, nakakulong ang laban sa Gitnang Silangan at hindi kasama ang Pilipinas sa konflikto. Ito ay sumagot sa panawagan ni Sen. Erwin Tulfo para sa pagsusuri ng Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement.

A US congressional commission has recommended allowing Taiwan to fund infrastructure upgrades at Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement sites in the Philippines. The proposal aims to bolster Washington's capacity to defend the self-ruled island against a potential Chinese invasion. Funding would cover infrastructure and support services, not weapons, through the US Foreign Military Sales program.
