Donald Trump has dismissed concerns that China’s growing military might threaten the country, citing Washington’s unmatched military might.
The US president responded to a radio interview on Tuesday by asking if he was concerned about a China-Russia axis attacking the country.
Trump told conservative pundit Scott Jennings, “We have the strongest military in the world by far.”
They never engage in military combat against us. That would be the worst thing they could ever do, in my opinion.
Trump also expressed disappointment with Russian President Vladimir Putin over his failure to reach a peace deal with Kyiv. He campaigned on the promise of ending Moscow’s war in Ukraine.
Trump said, “We will be doing something to help people live, and I am very disappointed in President Putin.”
“It’s not a question of Ukraine,” he said. It improves people’s lives.
Trump’s remarks come as China and Russia have been boosting their cooperation in an effort to change the world order being led by Western nations.
Chinese Presidents Xi Jinping and Putin took turns expressing criticism of what they thought was Washington’s undue dominance over the world at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit earlier this week in Tianjin.
Putin attended China’s largest military parade ever on Wednesday to commemorate Japan’s anniversaries in World War II. This was widely thought to be a demonstration of Xi’s growing influence on the international stage.
Trump refuted suggestions that the parade should be seen as a US challenge during a White House press conference on Tuesday.
He responded, “I don’t see that at all, no.”
