President-elect Donald Trump has accused the Biden administration of appearing to be selling border wall materials for pennies on the dollar.
Daily Wire reporter James Larino said the Biden administration is trying to sell border wall materials on government surplus auction sites for far less than the materials are believed to be worth. revealed last week.
“The government is trying to sell it for 5 cents on the dollar, knowing that we are preparing to sell it,” Trump told reporters at Mar-a-Lago on Monday. Ta.
President Trump said the materials his administration has ordered for the 200-mile border wall are “about double what they cost six years ago.” “It's very expensive.”
“This is almost a criminal act. They know we're going to use it, and if we don't have it, we have to rebuild it and that cost. It's double what it cost a few years ago, and it's hundreds of millions of dollars. You're talking about a lot of walls,” Trump explained.
President Trump suggested the Biden administration was trying to destroy the material because “our country is trying to stop” border security.
“What that really means is we're going to spend hundreds of millions more dollars, and we're not talking about time,” he added.
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said last week that he was told border wall materials were “mostly junk.” Patrick said the state of Texas will consider purchasing the materials if they are in good repair.
WATCH — Border Patrol chief disagrees with Biden's decision to halt construction of southern border wall:
“The Texas Facilities Commission told us today that most of the material being sold is junk, with most of the panels covered in concrete and rust. “There were a few panels that were not worth the cost of shipping to Texas,” he posted on X. “Essentially, this was a ploy by Biden to gain support from the open-borders radical left, and it showed that Biden was willing to fight President Trump to the bitter end.” Rest assured, if we sell a panel that makes economic sense, we will buy it and give it to President Trump when he takes office. ”
