May Xi have a great celebration, regards to Putin and Kim as you conspire against US: Trump

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he was "very disappointed in Russian President Vladimir Putin and added without elaborating that his administration was planning to take some actions to bring down deaths in Russia's war in Ukraine.

The Republican leader also said he was not concerned about warm ties between Russia and China.

China kicked off its largest-ever military parade on Wednesday in a show of its growing firepower and geopolitical clout as Xi sought to cast Beijing as the custodian of a post-U.S. international order.


"May President Xi and the wonderful people of China have a great and lasting day of celebration. Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and (North Korean leader) Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

Trump held a summit with Putin in Alaska in mid-August and subsequently met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and key European and NATO alliance leaders at the White House. "I am very disappointed in President Putin, I can say that, and we will be doing something to help people live," Trump said in an interview.

Trump has told Zelenskyy that Washington would help guarantee Ukraine's security in any deal. Trump has also renewed a threat to impose further sanctions on Russia if there is no progress toward a peaceful settlement in Ukraine.

'NOT CONCERNED ABOUT CHINA & RUSSIA TIES'

Trump was also asked in the interview if he was concerned "about an axis forming against the United States with China and Russia."

"I am not concerned at all ... We have the strongest military in the world, by far. They would never use their military on us. Believe me," he said.

The Kremlin said on Wednesday the Russian President was not conspiring with against the US.

"I would like to say that no one has been conspiring, no one has been plotting anything, no conspiracies," Ushakov said. "No one even had such a thought-none of these three leaders had such a thought," Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov said ON Wednesday. "Everyone understands the role played by the US, the current administration of President Trump and President Trump personally in the current international situation."
