This was reported by The Washington Post with reference to the received construction plans.

It is noted that such measures will make it possible to complete about 1,424 km of the new fence by the spring of 2022, and the total amount of federal funds allocated for border protection will reach $ 18.4 billion.

In September, Trump, during an inspection of the border wall between the US and Mexico in San Diego, called the facility under construction a "world-class security system."

He stated that once the wall was completed, illegal entry would be virtually impossible.

In late July, the U.S. Supreme Court authorized the Donald Trump administration to use $ 2.5 billion from the country's defense budget to build part of the wall on the border with Mexico.
