North Korea compares US president to Hitler

North Korea has compared US President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler, criticizing his so-called “America first” policies as being “racist” and similar to “Nazism in the 21st century.”

In his inaugural address in January, Trump promised that “from this moment on, it’s going to be America first.”

An editorial on North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said “the American-first principle...advocates the world domination by recourse to military means just as was the case with Hitler’s concept of world occupation."

The news agency added that Trump was “following Hitler’s dictatorial politics” to divide others into two categories “friends and foes” to justify “suppression.”

The Trump administration is pushing for stronger sanctions against Pyongyang over its nuclear and missile programs.

The KCNA accused the US of blocking the entry of medical supplies into North Korea, describing the move as “an unethical and inhumane act, far exceeding the degree of Hitler’s blockade of Leningrad,” referring to the nearly 900-day siege on the Russian city which left millions dead during World War II.
