Chinese leader Xi Jinping presided over the country’s military parade marking the anniversary of China’s defeat of the Japanese in World War II.
As the parade began, Trump asked in his post on Truth Social whether Xi would “mention the massive amount of support and ‘blood’ that The United States of America gave to China in order to help it to secure its FREEDOM from a very unfriendly foreign invader,” referring to Imperial Japan.
