North Korean state media has likened Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler and the US president's "America First" policies to Nazism.

Mr Trump's "two-nation strategy" towards the Korean Peninsula is "based on Hitler's dictatorial policies that separate people from their peers, justifies oppression and creates an atmosphere of fear in American political, social, media and information circles", an editorial published on Tuesday by the Korea Central News Agency claimed.

Mr Trump's policies on immigration are "no different from the racist policies of fascism" and "denigrate the history of America".

"Since the rise of 'America First', the world has never had a calm day", the editorial stated.
