US President Donald Trump on Tuesday accused Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un of conspiring against the US after the three world leaders met in Beijing during a military parade on China’s Victory Day at the end of World War II.
“Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
“The big question to be answered is whether or not President Xi of China will mention the massive amount of support and ‘blood’ that The United States of America gave to China in order to help it to secure its FREEDOM from a very unfriendly foreign invader,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“Many Americans died in China’s quest for Victory and Glory,” he continued. “I hope that they are rightfully Honored and Remembered for their Bravery and Sacrifice! May President Xi and the wonderful people of China have a great and lasting day of celebration. Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America.”
China held one of its biggest-ever military parades Wednesday, with Chinese President Xi Jinping joined by leaders from a host of countries at odds with the United States and its allies in a display of unity.
Topping the guest list were Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. This was the first time Putin, Kim and Xi have been seen together in public.

Commenting on Trump’s remarks, Kremlin spokesperson Yuri Ushakov has rejected any suggestion of a conspiracy against the US, according to Russian state media, calling Trump’s words “ironic”.
Tass news agency quoted Ushakov as saying that Putin, Xi and Kim are “not even thinking about a conspiracy against the United States” and that the three leaders understand Washington’s role “in the current international situation”.
