No. But, as I understand it, President Trump has backed off his mandate that only American steel be used for the Keystone Pipeline because a Russian company had already been engaged in the project before it was nixed by President Obama.
I've seen some people inquiring whether Russian steel would also be used in the construction of The Wall.
From what I've read, border control agents do not want a great big wall along the border. It doesn't make sense for them not to be able to see what's going down on the other side.
Border patrol wants more fencing and more agents, which is what Clinton and Sanders both proposed.
Also, there is no indication that Mexico is going to pay for The Wall. If that doesn't change and Trump tries to cover the cost through punitive tariffs, it will be American consumers and businesses who will be paying for The Wall.
