President Donald Trump took to his social media platform as Chinese President Xi Jinping, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared together in Beijing for China's largest-ever military parade on Wednesday. Trump accused Xi of "conspiring against" the United States as they attended the parade, which marked the 80th anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War II. "May President Xi and the wonderful people of China have a great and lasting day of celebration. Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America," Trump wrote on social media as the parade was underway.

"Many Americans died in China's quest for Victory and Glory. I hope that they are rightfully Honored and Remembered for their Bravery and Sacrifice!" the president wrote. In his remarks at the parade, held in front of the Tiananmen Gate, Xi hailed the Chinese People's Liberation Army as a "heroic force" and spoke of nations and treating each other as equals. "The Chinese nation is a great nation that does not fear violence, and that stands independent and strong," Xi said. "In the past, when confronted with a life-or-death struggle between justice and evil, light and darkness, progress and reaction, the Chinese people stood united, rose up in resistance, and fought for the survival of the country, the rejuvenation of the nation and the cause of human justice." Yuri Ushakov, a top aide to Putin, dismissed Trump's conspiracy allegations. "I want to say that no one organized any conspiracies, no one was weaving anything, no conspiracies," Ushakov told Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin, who is close to the Kremlin and has previously interviewed Putin. "Moreover, no one even had that in their minds, none of these three leaders had that," Ushakov said.

Kim, Xi and Putin gathered for the military parade amid Ukrainian and Western concerns over the collaboration of the three nations in bolstering Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, ongoing since February 2022. Putin sent an invitation to meet with Kim on the sidelines of the military parade, according to Putin's top foreign policy aide. The North Korean Foreign Ministry said in a Wednesday statement that Kim was "enveloped in an atmosphere of the warmest friendship and enthusiastic welcome" on his arrival in Beijing. Ukrainian and Western governments have accused North Korea of supplying significant amounts of ammunition and troops to support Russia's war, while Kyiv and its NATO backers have identified China as Moscow's prime source of materiel and a vital economic lifeline.

Serb separatist Dodik defies Bosnian state in government reshuffleNew Foto - Serb separatist Dodik defies Bosnian state in government reshuffle

SARAJEVO (Reuters) -The parliament of Bosnia's autonomous Serb Republic has approved a government reshuffle that the opposition says is illegal because it was initiated by the region's president who has been banned from politics. The vote late on Tuesday deepens a crisis over a Serb separatist drive that amounts to one of the biggest threats to peace in the Balkans since the wars that followed Yugoslavia's collapse. The Serb Republic makes up Bosnia and Herzegovina along with a federation shared by Bosniaks and Croats under the Dayton peace accords that ended a 1992-95 conflict that killed about 100,000 people and displaced around 2 million. The Serb Republic government reshuffle was set in motion by Milorad Dodik, who last month was stripped of his mandate as the Serb Republic's president by Bosnia's election commission. An appeals court had earlier upheld a verdict jailing Dodik for a year and banning him from politics for six years for defying the rulings of the international envoy who oversees civilian implementation of the Dayton accords. Dodik, a Russian-backed separatist who wants the Serb region to secede from Bosnia, has rejected the commission's decision and stayed on, but the election commission has called a November 23 election to elect a successor. Saying changes were needed in the Serb Republic's government to meet "challenges ahead", Dodik asked regional Prime Minister Radovan Viskovic to resign and nominated former agriculture minister Savo Minic to replace him. The reshuffled government, which includes only four new faces, was approved by 50 deputies from the governing coalition led by Dodik's SNSD party. Opposition deputies did not attend the vote. They said the government would be illegal because Dodik had lost his mandate as president. Minic said the government would work to return Bosnia to what he depicted as post-war basics, echoing Dodik's stance that only institutions that existed in the so-called "original Dayton deal" were acceptable to Bosnian Serbs. Minic announced a referendum on Dodik's status and said the Serb Republic had the right to self-determination. (Reporting by Daria Sito-Sucic)

NEW YORK (AP) —Novak Djokovic celebrated beating Taylor Fritzin theU.S. Openquarterfinals with some dance moves to music from the hit movie"KPop Demon Hunters"that were taught to him by his daughter, Tara, who turned 8 on Tuesday. After meeting Fritz at the net when the 6-3, 7-5, 3-6, 6-4 win was over, Djokovic began his little jig in Arthur Ashe Stadium. The 24-time Grand Slam champion called the victory "a big present for" Tara, who is not at Flushing Meadows. Djokovic figures Tara will rate his performance when she watches it Wednesday. "We are at home doing different choreographies, and this is one of them," he said. "Hopefully I'll make her smile when she wakes up in the morning." He explained during his on-court interview that the dance is based on "KPop Demon Hunters,"the Sony Pictures/Netflix moviethat has topped the streamer's global rankings. Fans have flooded the internet with art, covers, cosplay and choreography connected to film, which follows the fictional K-pop girl group HUNTR/X as they fight demons. The "KPop Demon Hunters" soundtrack debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Soundtracks chart and No. 8 on the all-genre Billboard 200. ___ More AP tennis:https://apnews.com/hub/tennis

Framber Valdez apologizes to César Salazar after hitting him with a pitchNew Foto - Framber Valdez apologizes to César Salazar after hitting him with a pitch

HOUSTON (AP) — Houston starter Framber Valdez said he apologized to catcher César Salazar after hitting him in the chest with a pitch Tuesday night, but he insisted that he didn't hit his teammate on purpose. Valdez gave up a grand slam to Trent Grisham in the fifth inningof the 7-1 loss to the New York Yankees. On the next pitch, Valdez hit Salazar in the chest. "What happened with us, we just got crossed up," Valdez said in Spanish through a translator. "I called for that pitch, I threw it and we got crossed up. We went down to the dugout and I excused myself with him and I said sorry to him and I take full responsibility for that." Valdez was then asked directly if he did it on purpose. "No," he said. "It was not intentional." Valdez and Salazar were talking when reporters entered the clubhouse after the game and Valdez said they had sorted things out. "We were able to talk through it," he said. "We spoke after the game… at his locker and everything's good between us. It's just stuff that happens in baseball. But yeah, we talked through it and we're good." Salazar was asked about what happened on the pitch where he was hit. "The stadium was loud," he said. "I thought I pressed the button, but I pressed the wrong button. I was expecting another pitch, but it wasn't it." Salazar said Valdez didn't hit him on purpose. "No, me and Framber we actually have a really good relationship," he said. ___ AP MLB:https://apnews.com/MLB

Defending US Open champ Sabalenka returns to semifinals with walkover win against VondroušováNew Foto - Defending US Open champ Sabalenka returns to semifinals with walkover win against Vondroušová

Defending champion Aryna Sabalenka returned to theUS Opensemifinals without hitting a ball on Tuesday night because the woman she was supposed to face in the quarterfinals, 2023 Wimbledon champion Markéta Vondroušová, pulled out of their match with an injured knee. According to the US Tennis Association, Vondroušová is the first woman to give her opponent a walkover – the term for when a tennis player withdraws from a match before it begins – at the US Open in the quarterfinals or later since 1988, when Steffi Graf advanced to the final when Chris Evert did not play their semifinal. "I tried my best to take the court today, but during the warm-up, I felt again my knee, and after consultation with the tournament doctor decided not to risk aggravating the injury," Vondroušová, a 26-year-old left-hander from the Czech Republic, said in a statement released by the USTA. "I appreciate all the support this tournament and apologize to the fans who were looking forward to the match." She had advanced to the quarterfinals with a three-set victory over 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina on Sunday night. With one of the two nighttime matches in Ashe scrapped Tuesday, the USTA didn't replace Sabalenka vs. Vondroušová on the program with another contest, but set up the men's quarterfinal between 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic and 2024 runner-up Taylor Fritz to begin at 8 p.m. That was originally supposed to start whenever Sabalenka-Vondroušová ended. Sabalenka now will meet No. 4 Jessica Pegula in the semifinals on Thursday. That is a rematch of last year's championship match at Flushing Meadows, which Sabalenka won in straight sets. Vondroušová has been as high as No. 6 in the WTA rankings but a series of injuries over the years kept off the tour for stretches at a time. That included operations on her wrist in 2022 and on her shoulder last year. She entered the US Open ranked 60th and unseeded. "So sorry for Markéta after all she's been through," Sabalenka wrote on social media. "She has been playing amazing tennis and I know how badly this must hurt for her." Pegula moved into her second grand slam semifinal by eliminating two-time major champion Barbora Krejčíková 6-3, 6-3 earlier Tuesday. Pegula had been 0-6 in major quarterfinals until upsetting Iga Świątek in that round at Flushing Meadows a year ago. Now the 31-year-old American is the first woman to make the final four at the US Open in consecutive years without losing a set since 23-time major champion Serena Williams did it every year from 2011 to 2014. "I've been able to kind of go into those matches and really take care of business," Pegula said. The last two women's quarterfinals are scheduled for Wednesday: No. 2 Świątek vs. No. 8 Amanda Anisimova – that's a rematch of last month's Wimbledon final, which Swiatek won 6-0, 6-0 – and No. 11 Karolína Muchová vs. No. 23 Naomi Osaka. That will be Osaka's first grand slam quarterfinal since the 2021 Australian Open, where she wound up claiming her fourth major trophy. For more CNN news and newsletters create an account atCNN.com
