China Defends Putin and Kim’s Presence at Parade After Trump Alleges Anti-U.S. Plot
China has defended its decision to host Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at a World War II commemoration parade in Beijing, following a social media post by former U.S. President Donald Trump accusing the trio of conspiring against the United States. Responding on Thursday, China’s foreign ministry said the event aimed to promote peace and remember history, not target any third party. The Kremlin also reacted, saying it hoped Trump’s remarks were made in jest.
