Donald Trump has suspended the controversial construction of the border wall in Big Bend National Park, Texas

The Trump administration decided on Monday to suspend the construction of the controversial border wall in Big Bend National Park in Texas, amid strong bipartisan opposition to its environmental impact.

The project, which would cross an unspoiled natural landscape, has been criticized by those who argue that the region's rugged and isolated terrain already discourages migration and illegal trafficking. According to statements from Rodney Scott, the head of the Customs and Border Protection, all construction activities will be suspended during its on-site assessment. Scott mentioned that he will listen to the opinions of local leaders and the community to address threats to national security while protecting the park.
