US$1 billion of funding shifted to border wall



WASHINGTON: The Pentagon chief said the Department of Defense shifted US$1 billion to build a 57-mile section of “pedestrian fencing”, lighting and road along United States and Mexico border.

The Pentagon, last week, gave Congress a list, which included $12.8 billion of construction projects for the construction along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Last month, U.S. President Donald Trump declared a national emergency in a bid to provide funding to build a border wall without congressional approval. (Agencies)
