A White House official said human rights got a brief mention when the two met on the sidelines of an Asian summit, although a spokesperson for the Philippine government said they were not.
Their meeting was one of the most anticipated of the summit of east and southeast Asian leaders in Manila, with human rights groups pressing Mr Trump to take a tough line on Mr Duterte over his bloody war on drugs, in which thousands of people have been killed.
"We are your ally. We are an important ally," Mr Duterte told Mr Trump at the beginning of their talks, according to reporters allowed in to the meeting room.
