Four Companies Selected to Build Prototypes of Trump's Border Wall
In what was called a "significant milestone" by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials, Trump's controversial border wall project has shown its first tangible results.
"The Trump administration on Thursday announced it has chosen four companies to build concrete prototypes of the president’s much-touted border wall," reports Tracy Jan.
"Construction of the prototypes, to take place in San Diego, is the first step in fulfilling President Trump’s campaign promise of building a 'big, beautiful' wall stretching along the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border," adds Jan.
The prototype projects will be funded with $20 million already set aside by Congress—more contracts for more prototypes are expected next week. The article lists the companies that the Trump Administration selected to complete the prototype projects.
