Biden cancels remainder of Trump border wall projects funded by Pentagon
(Worthy News) – The Pentagon canceled border wall projects that the Trump administration had funded with $10.5 billion it diverted from other federal departments on the basis that the southern border was experiencing a national emergency.
The Pentagon did not reveal how much money has not been spent but said the remaining amount will go toward previously planned construction projects and that they will start as soon as possible. A Washington Examiner analysis of projects funded by the Pentagon revealed most of it has been spent on projects completed before Jan. 20.
The Trump administration completed 450 miles of slatted border fence in all four southern border states, though much of it replaced shorter fences or was secondary fencing that ran parallel with the main wall. On Jan. 20, President Joe Biden signed an executive order halting all border wall system construction projects on the 1,950-mile southern border. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
