Border walls testing

The US government announced yesterday that prototypes for President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall with Mexico have been completed and will be subjected to punishment to test their mettle – by workers wielding sledgehammers, torches, pickaxes and batteryoperated tools. The testing will last up to two months, said Ronald Vitiello, US Customs and Border Protection’s acting deputy commissioner. Results of the testing will dictate future wall construction, which has not yet been funded by Congress.
