GENEVA (Reuters) - North Korea struck back at the United States on Wednesday, 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 U.S. 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.
