MANILA, Philippines — Transport group Piston will hold a strike during the arrival of US President Donald Trump next week.

Piston president Mody Floranda said the strike would be held on Nov. 16.

Floranda pointed to Trump’s involvement in the Middle East conflict, which led to the global surge in fuel prices.

Jeepney drivers are still having a hard time earning despite the recently implemented fare hikes, Floranda said.

He said Piston would also be joining protest actions by militant groups.
