The Kremlin on Wednesday said it hoped US President Donald Trump’s allegation that the leaders of Russia, China and North Korea were conspiring against the United States was meant as a joke. “I think not without irony, he said that these three are allegedly plotting against the United States,” Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov told Russian state TV, when asked about a Trump social media post that claimed Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and Kim Jong Un had gathered in Beijing to plot against Washington.
