Part 2/12:
President Donald Trump responded strongly to this show of unity among authoritarian powers—Russia’s Vladimir Putin, North Korea’s Kim Jong-un, and Xi Jinping—describing them as a "triumvirate" conspiring against the U.S. and the West. Via Truth Social, Trump sarcastically extended his regards, implying their rally was a conscious defiance of American interests. His critique underscored the gravity of this display, which, from his perspective, was less about celebration and more about signaling resistance to Western influence.
