President Trump just provided an update on negotiations with the Democrats. It looks like the discussion is centered around constructing a steel barrier instead of a concrete barrier for the border wall.
V.P. Mike Pence and group had a productive meeting with the Schumer/Pelosi representatives today. Many details of Border Security were discussed. We are now planning a Steel Barrier rather than concrete. It is both stronger & less obtrusive. Good solution, and made in the U.S.A.

Quite frankly, I don’t care what the wall is made out of. So long as the wall prevents brown people from entering the country that’s all I give a shit about.
The Border Patrol which has the resident on the ground experts have requested some type of structure that allows them to see through to the other side. A full concrete wall would not satisfy that requirement but a steel structure would.
He also put out this tweet touting the coming construction of the wall.

He also spoke to the press before leaving for Camp David. He reiterated his intention to declare a national emergency to build the wall if negotiations with the Democrats stall.
I’m cautiously optimistic that we’ll eventually see something happen. How it ultimately plays out is anyone’s best guess though.
