The Trump Administration is requesting $1 billion this year to cover 62 miles of the border wall, according to DHS documents obtained by CNN.
The documents detail specific locations where current fencing requires upgrades, and stretches near San Diego and in the Rio Grande Valley where the wall is to be built.
Do the math: Estimates of the total wall cost have varied widely, but 62 miles is about 1/32 of the total US/Mexico land border.
President Trump told reporters on Monday that he wants to delay the G7 summit until after November's election and implied that the decision had already been made.
The big picture: Plans for the summit have already been scrapped multiple times, with proposed venues moving from the Trump National Doral resort in Miami to Camp David. In May, Trump postponed the in-person event in Washington, D.C. to September.
President Trump was escorted out of a coronavirus press briefing by a Secret Service agent on Monday after law enforcement reportedly shot an armed suspect outside of the White House.
The state of play: Trump returned to the podium approximately ten minutes later and informed reporters of the news. He said the suspect has been taken to the hospital, but was unable to provide more details and said Secret Service may give a briefing later.
