The remarks came just ahead of a military parade in Beijing marking China’s World War II victory over Japan. Putin attended the celebrations alongside North Korea\u2019s Kim Jong-un and other leaders.
\nSpeaking about the conflict in Ukraine, Trump said he was \u201cvery disappointed\u201d in Putin and added without elaborating that his administration was preparing actions \u201cto help people live.\u201d
\nTrump met Putin in Alaska last month in an effort to mediate a ceasefire in Ukraine. No breakthroughs were reached, but both sides called the talks positive. Trump has since urged direct talks between Putin and Ukraine\u2019s Vladimir Zelensky.
\nKremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said last week that Putin \u201cdoes not rule out the possibility of holding such a meeting,\u201d but stressed it should be carefully prepared.
\nOn Wednesday, Trump posted on Truth Social during the parade that Xi, Putin, and Kim were \u201cconspiring\u201d against Washington. He congratulated Xi, honored Americans who died in China\u2019s \u201cquest for Victory and Glory,\u201d and wrote: \u201cPlease give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un, as you conspire against the United States.\u201d
\nRussian presidential aide Yury Ushakov said he hoped Trump had made the comments in jest. He stressed that \u201cnobody is plotting any conspiracies\u201d and added that everyone understood the role played by the United States, the Trump administration and the president personally in international affairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
