US Supreme Court Paves the Way for the Construction of Mexico Wall. US President Donald Trump has achieved a significant victory at the Supreme Court in the United States.
The Court approved the request to use 2.5 billion dollars from the Defense budget for the construction of the wall on the border with Mexico.
The Court, which has a conservative majority, narrowly voted 5-4 for Trump’s request, thereby overturning an earlier decision by a federal judge in California.
He previously ruled that shifting with government budgets is illegal.
The construction of the wall is met with fierce opposition from the Democrats and the Mexican government.
Trump has repeatedly asked Congress for billions to build a wall on the border with Mexico, but he never got a majority for it.
Trump wanted to stretch 5.7 billion for the wall this fiscal year. When Congress permitted just 1.4 billion, the president declared a state of emergency.
In this way, he hopes to get money from other ministries. The 2.5 billion is the first part of the total of nearly 7 billion dollars that Trump says he needs.
