Soon after Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian’s Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un were seen together in China, US President Donald Trump directed the Pentagon to be ready to deter China and Russia if required, signaling preparations for a large-scale transformation of the American armed forces.
US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, while speaking to Fox News, confirmed that he had received an order from the President to begin planning for a major restructuring of the military.

“That is why President Trump has charged us at the Department of Defense to be prepared to rebuild our military and re-establish deterrence. Not because we seek conflict and we’ve been clear about that with China, Russia and others,” Hegseth stated.
Meanwhile, President Trump has accused China, Russia, and North Korea of conspiring against the United States as Chinese leader Xi Jinping presided over a massive military parade in Bejing marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
The President did not elaborate on what he meant by “conspire,” but reminded that the United States played a decisive role in liberating China from foreign occupation during the war.
Earlier, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian leader Vladimir Putin, and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un appeared side by side in Beijing on Wednesday at a grand military parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
