Trump awards contract to resume border wall construction in Texas
The federal government has awarded its first contract of President Donald Trump's second term to resume construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall in Texas. The $70 million-plus pact will cover construction of nearly seven miles of border fence in Uvalde County, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials. CBP said the work will fill gaps left when the Biden White House discontinued construction on the barrier — an uncompleted project Trump pledged to finish during his first term.
