"The Trump administration on Thursday announced it has chosen four companies to build concrete prototypes of the president’s much-touted border wall," reports Tracy Jan.

"Construction of the prototypes, to take place in San Diego, is the first step in fulfilling President Trump’s campaign promise of building a 'big, beautiful' wall stretching along the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border," adds Jan.

The prototype projects will be funded with $20 million already set aside by Congress—more contracts for more prototypes are expected next week. The article lists the companies that the Trump Administration selected to complete the prototype projects.
