President Trump recounted a tale from his first term when he ventured into North Korea and ended up with "more rifles pointing" at him than anyone could understand.
Trump did briefly cross the Demilitarisation Zone between North and South Korea in 2019 after a rendezvous with Chairman Kim Jong Un, causing quite a stir globally.
While in the Oval Office with the South Korean President today, Trump reminisced about crossing the zone, and "everyone went crazy, especially secret service." The news comes as a secret North Korea base was uncovered which can strike US with nuclear ballistic missiles.
He added that while he stood amidst the iconic blue buildings encircling the DMZ zone, he "looked into those windows" and spotted dozens of gunmen inside.
However, he felt secure as his relationship with Kim Jong Un was "solid.", reports the Express US.

Trump's meeting with South Korea president Lee Jae Myung kicked off with commendation and a significant request - peace between North and South Korea.
President Myung hinted that he is "looking forward" to a Trump tower in North Korea, as well as "playing golf" in the North.
North and South Korea effectively split in 1948 with the establishment of two separate governments, but the division was cemented following the Korean War (1950-1953) and the signing of an armistice.

The division began in 1945, post World War II, when the Allied powers divided Korea into Soviet and American occupation zones at the 38th parallel, which became the border between the two Koreas.
The South Korean president also noted that whilst he backs cordial ties between Trump and North Korea's Kim Jong Un, he reminded the US President that during Trump's absence from office, the North Korean leader had been advancing his nuclear programme.
Trump replied that "it wouldn't have happened" had he remained in power, with the Korean leader emphasising his agreement and expressing anticipation for Trump's involvement in easing tensions.
President Trump welcomed Lee, South Korea's new president, following his Truth Social post stating: "WHAT IS GOING ON IN SOUTH KOREA? Seems like a Purge or Revolution.
"We can't have that and do business there," Trump shared on social media Monday morning.
"I am seeing the new President today at the White House. Thank you for your attention to this matter! ! !"
Yoon, who secured a five-year mandate in 2022, was regarded as more ideologically aligned with Trump and had even returned to playing golf following Trump's reelection last November in a bid to bolster their partnership.
