United Nations special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, Philip Alston, has warned that US President Donald Trump and his party are turning the country into the world champion of extreme inequality.
Philip Alston stressed Trump and the congressional republicans are consciously distorting the shape of American society in a bid to make it the most unequal society in the world. Alston’s report comes after he completed a two-week official tour of the US. The UN official warned that Trump’s tax plan would further increase already large disparities between rich and poor and could cost American lives.
