发帖数: 61690 | 1 The Department of Homeland Security announced Thursday the winners of a
contest to build prototypes for sections of President Trump's proposed
border wall.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Acting Deputy Commissioner Ronald D.
Vitiello said four companies were chosen to build the prototypes, which are
planned to be built in the San Diego area.
Vitiello said the prototypes are a "significant milestone" in Trump's plan
to build a wall on the border with Mexico.
The prototypes will be built out of concrete, 18 to 30 feet high and 30 feet
long. Vitiello said they would each cost between "just under $400,000 and
just under $500,000."
He added that a set of prototypes made of "alternative materials" will be
announced next week.
Trump made construction of a border wall a centerpiece in his presidential
campaign, and has threatened to shut down the government unless Congress
funds initial construction of the wall in 2018.
The prototypes are being built with existing fiscal year 2017 funds,
according to Vitiello. |
