Since Trump is now claiming that he never meant that Mexico was actually going to pay for the wall (even though he said it repeatedly for nearly four years!), his administration is instead looking into taking money designated for disaster areas in order to build the wall.
Under this plan, Trump would declare a [HASH]NationalEmergency and take funds from a $13.9 billion budget that has been set aside for the [HASH]ArmyCorpsofEngineers for civil works projects around the country—including in [HASH]PuertoRico, which remains in complete disarray due to the impact of [HASH]HurricaneMaria.
