US President Barack Obama has cancelled a meeting in Laos with Philippine President, Rodrigo Duterte, who had earlier called him a "son of a whore".
National Security Council spokesman Ned Price said Mr Obama would meet South Korea's president instead.
Mr Obama had said he would raise the issue of drug-related extrajudicial killings in the Philippines.
Mr Duterte said if he did that, "Putang ina (son of a whore) I will swear at you in that forum."
Mr Obama flew to Laos on Monday for an Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) summit, after attending the G20 meeting in Hangzhou, China.
