Trump says Xi, Putin and Kim ‘plotting against the U.S.’

U.S. President Donald Trump, commenting on Beijing’s military parade marking the 80th anniversary of World War II victory, said Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un were “conspiring against the United States.”

In a Truth Social post minutes after the parade began, Trump extended greetings to Xi, Putin and Kim, sarcastically noting they were plotting against America. He also urged China to remember the sacrifices of U.S. soldiers who fought and died to help secure its freedom during World War II.

In a radio interview earlier this week, Trump dismissed concerns over a potential “axis” of China and Russia, saying he was not worried and confident neither would use military force against the U.S.

Xi, addressing the parade, praised China’s wartime role and said humanity again faced a choice “between peace and war, dialogue and confrontation,” without naming specific adversaries.
