U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. border has grown stronger and cited North Korea as a country with a stronger border than the United States.
On the 9th (local time), President Trump said in a speech in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, "We have one of the strongest borders in the world."
He meant that although numerous illegal immigrants flowed into the United States under the previous Joe Biden administration, the situation was corrected by his border security strengthening policy.
Trump claimed that criminals who had been imprisoned in Congo and Venezuela also entered the United States.
Then he abruptly said, "I would say there is perhaps one country with an even stronger border," and mentioned North Korea.
Trump said, "North Korea has a seven-layer barbed-wire wall. Each wall carries 1 million volts," adding, "If you get over one, you will die at the next barrier."
He also said with a laugh, "If you get over one, you'll already be in bad shape. If you get over two barbed wires, you've set a record."
Trump went on to say, "But our border is quite secure," and expressed thanks to Pete Hegseth, Minister of the Ministry of National Defense (War Department), and the military.
