US President Donald Trump accused Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un of conspiring against America – as the leaders gathered in Beijing for a massive military parade to commemorate the 80th anniversary of China’s victory against “Japanese aggression” in WWII.
Taking to Truth Social, the US President said he expects Xi would mention the sacrifices of American soldiers who stood by and shed their “blood” for China during World War II.
“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.
“Many Americans died in China’s quest for Victory and Glory. 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,” he added.
China on Wednesday kicked off its largest-ever military parade flanked by Russia's Vladimir Putin and North Korea's Kim Jong Un. The country unveiled for the first time some of its modern weaponry, including jet fighters, missiles and latest electronic warfare hardware, showcasing its military might.
Twenty-six foreign leaders including Putin, Kim Jong Un and the leaders from Iran, Malaysia, Myanmar, Mongolia, Indonesia, Zimbabwe and central Asian countries attended it.
From India’s neighbourhood, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Nepal Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli and Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu are attending the parade.
This comes just days after a high-profile summit of the 10-member Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) in Tianjin, which was dominated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's meetings with Xi and Putin against the backdrop of Trump clamping 50 per cent tariffs against India for buying Russian oil.
