BREAKING: Trump tells Biden to stop auctioning off border wall materials

In a Monday morning press conference from Mar-a-Lago, President-elect Donald Trump called for outgoing President Joe Biden to cease the selling of unused southern border wall materials.

"I’m asking today, Joe Biden, to please stop selling the wall. We’re going to use that to create a strong barrier. And it worked. That’s why our numbers were so good. It really worked and it worked well and it’s very expensive to do. And I’m asking Joe Biden to stop his people from giving it away," Trump said.

"It’s something that people can’t even believe is happening, so hopefully Joe will be able to stop it."

This comes after it was revealed that the Biden administration is auctioning off sections of unused border wall materials starting at $5. Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has vowed to buy back the portions being sold off and give them to the incoming Trump administration. "So, I’m going to find out first thing in the morning where are we going to take the bid. I’ve got a billion dollars in my pocket to do it. I write the budget with Senator John Huffman. We have the money. We’re going to have about $6 billion in our budget for border security. We’ll buy it," Patrick said.

"It’s very expensive and now it’s about double the price of what it would have been six years ago," Trump said. "And the administration is trying to sell it for five cents on the dollar, knowing that we’re getting ready to put it up."

He said that the actions by the Biden administration is "almost a criminal act."

"They know we’re gonna use it. And if we don’t have it, we’re gonna have to rebuild it and it’ll cost double what it cost years ago and that’s hundreds of millions of dollars because you’re talking about a lot of wall."

Trump said that "people have already come back to us that have deals at five cents and four cents and one guy at three cents on the dollar and they offered to sell it back to us at more money than it costs us to build substantially."

Trump said that he’s spoken with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Senators of Texas that will "hopefully be able to stop" the actions and said, "We’re going to be, you know, having a restraining order."
