Luxurious, armored vehicles are common modes of transportation for many world leaders.
Some ride in high-end sedans or SUVs, while others use customized limousines, including the US President Donald Trump and the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Trump opts for a $1.5 million Cadillac, nicknamed "the Beast," while Kim uses a W221 Mercedes-Benz S600 Pullman Guard. Each has a significant amount of armor to protect its occupants. Trump’s even has a supply of blood that matches his blood type in case he’s injured.
This is how Trump’s and Kim’s limos stack up.
