President Donald Trump criticized Chinese President Xi Jinping for “conspiring against the United States” during a major military parade in Beijing, which featured Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The event, marking the 80th anniversary of Japan’s surrender in World War II, drew global attention as the three leaders appeared together.

Trump took to social media to condemn Xi, writing: “Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America.” He also referenced U.S. involvement in World War II, questioning whether Xi would acknowledge American contributions to China’s victory. “Many Americans died in China’s quest for Victory and Glory,” Trump stated, urging recognition of their sacrifices.

The parade showcased China’s military capabilities, including stealth fighter jets and hypersonic weapons. Analysts highlighted the symbolic unity of Xi, Putin, and Kim Jong Un, describing it as a challenge to U.S. influence. The three leaders were seen exchanging gestures of camaraderie during the 70-minute event.

Trump’s remarks underscored tensions between the U.S. and China, while the gathering in Beijing signaled growing alignment among authoritarian regimes.
