Donald Trump talks up solar panels on wall between Mexico (Photo: internet)

President Trump suggested at a rally in Iowa that a solar wall would “create energy and pay for itself.” He said it would mean Mexico “will have to pay much less money” to build it. Trump claimed repeatedly during the election campaign last year that Mexico would fully fund his impenetrable border wall — a plan Mexico has strongly rejected. President Trump also suggested solar panels would make the wall look “beautiful”. The wall, which was a signature campaign promise, has faded from the White House’s agenda in recent months. Construction has yet to begin.
