“To date, there is no plan to build sections of the wall. However, Congress has provided options under Title 10 U.S. Code that could permit the Department of Defense to fund border barrier projects, such as in support of counter drug operations or national emergencies,†Pentagon spokesman Army Lt. Col. Jamie Davis said.
The Pentagon statement came after President Trump on Tuesday morning said the military could build remaining sections of a border wall.
“People do not yet realize how much of the Wall, including really effective renovation, has already been built. If the Democrats do not give us the votes to secure our Country, the Military will build the remaining sections of the Wall. They know how important it is!†he tweeted Tuesday.
