		</div><p>A report by the US Department of Homeland Security claims that President Donald Trump’s wall along the border with Mexico would cost up to $21.6bn and take more than three years to build.</p>
<p>Mr Trump had cited a figure of around $12bn during his campaign for the wall, which Homeland Security said would be made up of fences and walls covering more than 2,000 km by the end of 2020.</p>
<p>The internal report seen by Reuters today is expected to be given to the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), John Kelly, in the coming days.</p>
<p>There is already 1,046 km of the border already fortified, and the new construction would be carried out in three phases to extend almost the length of the entire border.</p>
<p>A spokeswoman for the DHS said they &#8220;do not comment on or confirm the potential existence of pre-decisional, deliberative documents&#8221;, while a White House spokeswoman said it would be “premature” to comment on the report which has not officially been presented to the president.</p>
<p>The report also shows that the government has started to seek waivers on environmental laws for building in some areas.</p>
