A vote designed to try and override this declaration appears certain to fail when it reaches the House of Representatives on Tuesday.
If it does fail, Mr Trump will be able to shift an additional $3.6bn from military construction projects to building a barrier along America's southwest boundary.After the Pentagon's $1bn transfer to commence wall construction in Arizona and Texas, the president's son, Donald Trump Jr, tweeted:"Christmas came early this week."Robert Mueller's investigation
, which found no evidence that Mr Trump's campaign"conspired or co-ordinated" with Russia to interfere in the 2016 election. The $1bn transfer has been criticised by some Democratic senators, who claim it is taking place without congressional approval and amounts to a"dollar-for-dollar theft from other readiness needs of our armed forces".
In response to a letter written by Mr Shanahan, senators including Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Dick Durbin of Illinois said they had"serious concerns that the department has allowed political interference and pet projects to come ahead of many near-term, critical readiness issues facing our military".
how can a fence cost ten thousand eight hundred dollars a meter? Shoulda gone to specsavers...
DT true to his election promise, whilst you may argue the rights and wrongs, he has done what he said he would, maybe something for our shambles of elected MPs to learn from.
Should have got Israel to built it.
Good job they’ve never heard of tunnels over there. mexico fence
He’s changed the illegal border crossings dramatically with the mere mention of this “wall” basically a virtual wall! Absolutely genius 👌🏼
18 foot? Hahahaha
I thought the building began during the Clinton regime...?
So . . . only 1900 miles to go!😂
Can we save a bit in case of brexit Or ring fence our politicians until they get themselves organized 😂😂
MAGA
Never thought it would be built!!!
The Mexican pole vault team has quadrupled in the last 8 mins
All thumbs are fingers but not all fingers are thumbs. A fence is not a wall!!!!
Mexicans say “Good, now please stay over there.”
GET 'ER DONE! buildthewall
There's a business opportunity for 19 foot ladder retailers here.
Replace 'wall' with fence. Replace 'mexico will pay' with 'US citizens will pay'.
Mexicans to start building 18 ft - high mobile stairs when US start building 57 miles of 18 ft - high fences along Mexican border.
Well at least some politicians keep to their election pledges..unlike our MPs
