New York – The president of the United States, Joe Biden, intends to cancel some projects for the construction of the wall along the southern border with Mexico financed with funds from the Department of Defense, with the aim of redirecting them towards repairing the environmental damage caused by the construction of the wall.

This was reported by the newspaper “The Hill”, citing an official of the Biden administration. The former US president, Donald Trump, had drained billions of funds initially earmarked for defense and military infrastructure towards the construction of the border wall with Mexico, using emergency powers after Congress refused to fund the project directly.

“Consistent with the proclamation of the president (Biden) that he stops the redirection of funds for the border wall, no funding will be diverted from other purposes in favor of the construction of a border wall”, explained the official source. After his inauguration in the White House, Biden suspended construction of the wall to conduct a 60-day overhaul of the entire project. Today, more than a hundred days after the beginning of his mandate, the dossier is still open.
