Outgoing US President Donald Trump prepares to celebrate his progress toward one of his campaign promises; It is the separation wall between the United States and Mexico, about a week before the end of his term in the White House.
According to a senior administration official, Trump will travel to the town of Alamo, Texas, on Tuesday, after the White House announced the completion of a distance of nearly 450 miles in building the wall, one of Trump’s election pledges with his administration’s attempts to reform the immigration system.
Trump’s visit is scheduled to coincide with the preparations of the House of Representatives in Congress to proceed with a vote in the House to isolate Trump, after the riots in the US capital Washington last Wednesday by Trump supporters. To express their opposition to the US presidential election result that resulted in the defeat of Trump and the victory of Democrat Joe Biden.
Trump pledged in 2019 to complete 490 miles of building the wall by the end of 2020, and as of January 2020 the size of that wall was only 100 miles.
At the outset of his rule, Trump had stated in 2016 that it was necessary to build about 1,000 miles of borders with this wall, and after 4 years, observers believe that there is an accidental progress towards the implementation of that wall for which about $ 1.4 billion was spent.
