Trump Calls Out Xi, Putin, Kim for ‘Conspiring Against the U.S.’ After Parade in Beijing

President Donald Trump stirred controversy on Wednesday by accusing Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un of conspiring against the United States, just moments after sending them his regards. The accusation came in a Truth Social post responding to the leaders’ joint appearance at a massive military parade in Beijing, marking the 80th anniversary of Japan’s surrender in World War II. While Trump initially struck a cordial tone, praising the Chinese people and referencing U.S. sacrifices during the war, he pivoted to claim the trio was plotting against America.
