Trump Accuses Xi of Aligning with Putin and Kim against US

US President Donald Trump has accused Chinese President Xi Jinping of conspiring with Russian leader Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un against the United States.

The accusation came as Beijing staged its largest-ever Victory Day parade on Wednesday, showcasing China’s growing military strength. The event, marking 80 years since Japan’s surrender in World War Two, was attended by 26 world leaders, including Putin and Kim.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un as you conspire against the United States of America.” He also reminded China of America’s wartime sacrifices, adding: “Many Americans died in China’s quest for Victory and Glory. I hope they are rightfully Honored and Remembered for their Bravery and Sacrifice!”

The parade was seen by analysts as a message of defiance to Western nations that have distanced themselves from Moscow and Pyongyang. Beijing, which has sought to position itself as a counterweight to Washington, has deepened ties with both Russia and North Korea in recent years.

Despite his fiery remarks, Trump played down concerns about an emerging anti-US bloc. Asked whether Beijing, Moscow, and Pyongyang were forming an alliance to challenge Washington, he said: “No. Not at all. China needs us much more than we need them.”

In a separate radio interview, Trump insisted the US military remains unmatched. “They would never use their military forces against us. Believe me, that would be the worst thing they could ever do,” he said.

Trump also voiced frustration with Putin, revealing he was “very disappointed” after failing to secure a peace deal on Ukraine during last month’s summit in Alaska. “We will be doing something to help people live in Ukraine,” he added, without providing details.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned of fresh Russian troop buildups along parts of the frontline, accusing Putin of rejecting peace efforts.

The West has long accused China of indirectly aiding Russia’s war effort by supplying dual-use materials and buying discounted Russian oil, claims Beijing denies.
