Trump Promotes Steel Barrier for Mexican Border

President Trump’s border wall could be made of three million tons of U.S. steel if he is able to get the funding for construction. In a bid to make his request more palatable to Democrats, Trump said the wall could be made of domestic steel from the companies he has made great again.

“I’ll have it done by the United States Steel Corp., by companies in our country that are now powerful, great companies again,” he said Friday at the White House. “And they’ve become powerful over the last two years because of me and because of our trade policies.”
