China's leader, Xi Jinping, will attend the parade alongside 26 visiting heads of state. Among the notable guests: Russia's president Vladimir Putin, and North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-un. Seating arrangements will be closely watched a photo-op of Xi, Putin and Kim side by side would be a powerful image. Other attendees include Belarus president Aleksandr Lukashenko, Iran's president Masoud Pezashkian and South Korea's National Assembly speaker Woo Won-shik.
Taking to his Truth Social platform early Wednesday morning, Trump said he's always liked Xi, but he's VERY TOUGH. I like President XI of China, always have, and always will, but he is VERY TOUGH, AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH!!!
