Special forces unit Hawkeye was pictured on stand-by as the US President abandoned a trip to the infamous demilitarised zone.
The DMZ is the 2.5 mile wasteland that separates North and South Korea.
Trump was due to make a surprise visit, but it was cancelled at the last minute – with the official reason given being “fog”.
But with the White House’s top gun squad on standby, perhaps there was another reason?
North Korea has previously threatened to kill Trump in horrifying propaganda featuring the US boss being beheaded.
Pictures of Trump’s attempted to visit to the DMZ revealed the camp-clad special forces waiting in their chinook chopper.
The US President flew in on his helicopter – called Marine One – and then waited in his car while officials debating making the trip to the frontline of North Korea.
Each soldier was armoured, wearing a helmets, carrying a huge pack, and with an assault rifle slung under their arms.
Sniper incidents have occured on the DMZ, with a South Korean soldier being killed by a North Korean gunman back in 1987.
Hawkeye are a Secret Service Counter-Assault Team (CAT) assigned to defend the US President.
They are deployed to repel coordinated attacks against officials and were formed after the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan.
Each unit is given a designation matching the President’s call-sign – so for Trump their full name is “Hawkeye Mogul”.
Troops are equipped with an SR-16 rifle, a pistol and a pack of stun grenades.
They are specially trained to counter ambushes and fight in close quarters.
