The leaders of China, Russia and North Korea have appeared in public together for the first time in a show of solidarity at a massive military parade in Beijing.
US President Donald Trump, who did not attend, accused President Xi of conspiring against the US with Russia and North Korea in a post on Truth Social.
“Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America,” Trump said.
Kremlin spokesperson Yuri Ushakov rejected any suggestion of a conspiracy against the US, according to Russian state media.
He called Trump’s words “ironic” and said Putin, Xi and Kim are “not even thinking about a conspiracy against the United States”.
