US President Donald Trump accuses the leaders of China, North Korea and Russia of conspiring against the United States as they gather in Beijing for a massive military parade.

As North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russia’s Vladimir Putin flank Xi Jinping at the parade marking 80 years since World War II ended, Trump writes a testy Truth Social post addressing Xi: “give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America.”
