Trump Seeks to Halt Biden's $5 Border Wall Sales, Calls It 'Almost Criminal'
Dec 16, 2024, 05:36 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has criticized the Biden administration for selling off unused materials from the border wall constructed during his previous term, with some items reportedly being sold for as little as $5. Speaking at Mar-a-Lago just weeks before he takes office, Trump called on President Joe Biden to stop auctioning the wall components, stating that he intends to use them to continue building the barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border. He is reportedly considering legal action, including seeking a restraining order to halt the sales. Trump warned that selling the materials now would lead to increased costs for taxpayers, as rebuilding the wall would be more expensive due to inflation, potentially costing "about double the price" compared to six years ago. He described the sale of the wall materials as "almost a criminal act" and suggested that it undermines national security efforts.
