US President Donald Trump made a striking accusation while hosting a parade showcasing China's military might. The Republican leader claimed that Beijing, along with North Korea and Russia, was conspiring against the US. Moscow quickly responded.
US President Donald Trump shared a post on his social media account shortly before the military parade held in Tiananmen Square in Beijing to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in China.
"The most important question that needs to be answered is whether Chinese President Xi Jinping will talk about the tremendous support and bloodshed the United States has given to China to secure its freedom from a foreign invader," Trump said.
Noting that many Americans lost their lives in China's fight for victory, Trump emphasized his hope that their bravery and sacrifice would be"rightfully honored and remembered."
"YOU ARE CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE USA"
Trump accused the leaders of China, North Korea and Russia of conspiring against the United States, saying:
"May President Xi and the great people of China have a wonderful and lasting day of celebration. Please convey my warmest greetings to (Russian President) Vladimir Putin and (North Korean leader) Kim Jong Un as they plot against the United States."
It was noteworthy that the statement was published on September 3, the day a large military parade will be held in Tiananmen Square in Beijing as part of the 80th anniversary celebration of the end of World War II in China.
KREMLIN DENIES TRUMP'S CLAIMS
Kremlin Foreign Policy Advisor Yuriy Ushakov commented on Trump’s accusation of the leaders of Russia, China and North Korea of conspiring against his country, in a statement to the Russian state channel Rossiya-24.
Emphasizing that the leaders of Russia, China and North Korea have no such idea in mind, Ushakov said,"Nobody is conspiring, nobody is planning anything, there is no conspiracy."
Ushakov added that Trump and his administration's approach to current international relations is known to everyone.
