Trump's planned border wall was immediately halted by Joe Biden when he entered the White House. The former president had earmarked as much as $16 billion for his flagship policy.

Joe Biden's administration has blown more than $50 billion of taxpayer cash - three times the cost of Donald Trump's border wall - on top consulting firms since entering the White House.
A Daily Mail analysis of open-source U.S. government spending data shows that the 80-year-old racked up the eye-watering amount in just over two years on the job.
The figures could raise eyebrows amongst voters in key battleground states as ordinary Americans face a cost-of-living crisis and a rise in illegal immigration.
The price tag is also roughly equivalent to the annual defense budget of NATO member France.
Trump also relied heavily on top consulting firms but the $66 billion his administration spent was across his four year stint as commander-in-chief.
With 20 months of Biden's first term left to run, his administration could end up spending more on consultants than the former president.
Biden's consultancy bill comes amid a long-running row between Democrats and Republicans over increasing the US government's $31.4 trillion spending cap and possible budget cuts.
The biggest benefactor amongst some of the world's major consulting firms advising the U.S. government is Booz Allen Hamilton.
