Trump says only North Korea has 'stronger' border than U.S.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday touted his administration's border security, noting that there is one country with a stronger border than the United States — North Korea.

Trump made the remarks during a speech on the U.S. economy in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, as he underlined progress in his administration's border security efforts, which he said have led to “zero illegal aliens” into the United States for seven months in a row.

“North Korea, I think, has a stronger border. North Korea has seven walls of wire, and each of them has a million volts of electricity going through,” he said. “So if you get over one, you're dead for the next one. If you get over one, you are in very bad shape. If you get over two, you've set a record.”
