Trump seeks proposals for ‘physically imposing’ border wall

Monday, March 20, 2017


The Trump administration late Friday night took the first steps toward fulfilling a campaign promise, requesting proposals to build a “physically imposing” wall on the border with Mexico.

The request follows the release on Thursday of President Trump’s first budget proposal, which includes money to pay for planning and construction of the wall. The budget calls for $2.6 billion to be spent on “tactical infrastructure” and other security technology at the border, including money to plan, design and begin building the wall.
