GENEVA (REUTERS) – North Korea struck back at the United States on Wednesday (Jan 31), accusing the Trump administration of being a billionaires’ club that harbours a “policy of racism” while denying freedom of the press and health coverage to citizens.
The “White Paper on Human Rights Violations in the US in 2017”, was issued by the Institute of International Studies in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) and circulated by its diplomatic mission in Geneva.
It did not refer to the row between North Korea and the United States and its allies over Pyongyang’s nuclear and missile programmes, or to the international sanctions imposed against it.
US President Donald Trump, in his first State of Union speech to Congress on Tuesday, branded North Korea’s leadership”depraved”.
He told Americans that its pursuit of nuclear missiles could “very soon threaten our homeland” and vowed a continued campaign to prevent that.
