Trump Urges Biden to Halt Alleged $5 Sale of Border Wall Materials, Vows to Resume Construction
Dec 16, 2024, 05:04 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has urged President Joe Biden to halt the sale of unused border wall materials, which he claims are being auctioned off for as little as $5 per piece. Calling the alleged practice "almost a criminal act," Trump criticized the Biden administration for reportedly selling the materials at a fraction of their value, emphasizing that rebuilding the wall would now cost significantly more due to inflation—potentially double the original price. "I'm asking today: Joe Biden, please stop selling the wall," Trump stated, underscoring his commitment to resume construction of the U.S.-Mexico border barrier upon taking office. Republican lawmakers, including Senators Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton, echoed Trump's concerns, accusing the administration of jeopardizing national security and wasting taxpayer funds. Trump indicated he may seek a restraining order to prevent further sales of the materials.
