President-elect Donald Trump called on President Joe Biden to stop selling unused portions of the border wall as Texas considers purchasing auctioned panels and giving them back to the new administration.

During a Dec. 16 press conference, Trump told reporters that he had spoken with Texas officials amid reports that remaining sections of the federal border wall were being auctioned off with bids starting at $5.
