WATCH: Why Duterte won't visit U.S.

President Rodrigo Duterte on Friday said he will not visit the United States-- at least, not in his lifetime.

Duterte said Filipinos in the United States "would kill him" if he cuts the Philippines' diplomatic ties with the United States.

"That is why I'm not going there (United States).... not in this lifetime," he said Duterte.

Duterte issued the statement in a press conference following his arrival from his state visit to Brunei and China.

The president said he was not pushing for a severance of ties between the Philippines and the United States, but rather a mere "separation of foreign policy."
