North Korea accused the Trump Administration of being a billionaires club that harbors a policy of racism while exacerbating social inequalities and denying freedom of the press and health coverage to citizens.
The White Paper on Human Rights Violations in the U.S. in 2017, issued by the Institute of International Studies in the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea on Wednesday, claimed that human rights in the U.S. have deteriorated since President Donald Trump took office last year.
Racial discrimination and misanthropy are serious maladies inherent to the social system of the U.S., and they have been aggravated since Trump took office, the paper read. The racial violence that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia, on August 12 is a typical example of the acme of the current administrations policy of racism.
The paper, which is being circulated by North Korean diplomats in Geneva, did not refer to the row between North Korea and the U.S. and its allies over Pyongyangs nuclear and missile programs, nor to the international sanctions imposed against it.
A summary of the paper was released by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on Wednesday.
The KCNA summary accused Trump of packing his cabinet with billionaires, including Secretary of State Rex Tillerson; former private equity investor Wilbur Ross, who is now Secretary of Commerce; exGoldman Sachs investor Steven Mnuchin, who is now Secretary of the Treasury; and Secretary of Defense James Mattis.
