North Korea has disparaged President Donald Trump's trademark "America First" stance, predicting that it would ultimately bring down the U.S. and its global sphere of influence.
Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the ruling Korean Workers' Party Central Committee, published an article Monday claiming that Trump's doctrine "accelerates isolation and ruin of the empire of evils in all aspects of politics, economy, military affairs and diplomacy." The outlet, which reported the views of North Korea's own internationally ostracized administration, highlighted the foreign criticism Trump has faced trying to defend the nationalist slogan that he insisted "does not mean 'America alone.'"

"'America first' calling for sacrificing the world for its own abundant life drives even the allies and henchmen of the U.S. into a dilemma and creates a chaos in the overall West economy," the article read, according to the state-run Korean Central News Agency.
"'America first' is being buffeted by criticism of the international community as it is a doctrine to turn the world into a theatre of rampage by the jungle law through highhanded and arbitrary practices," it added.
