In a speech delivered in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, Republican nominee to the U.S. 2016 Presidency, Donald Trump, outlined how he would use his first one-hundred days in presidency and emphasized today, that he “will build” a wall in the Mexican-American border that would be financed by the U.S. and be “reimbursed” by Mexico, while at the same time he would put a halt to immigration “from regions prone to the threat of terrorism”, without detailing the specific path he would take for such purpose.
Gettysburg is a symbolic place in the U.S. as it was here where president Abraham Lincoln gave his famous 1863 speech amidst the surge of the American Civil War.
Trump had insisted so far, that it would be Mexico the one in charge of funding the construction of the wall intended to restrain the migratory flow from its southern neighbor.
The New-York based tycoon reiterated that he would “remove” the U.S. from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and that he would also “renegotiate” the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), besides taking actions to “cancel the billions of dollars destined to the United Nations for climate change programs” and how he would use them to finance domestic projects, instead.
He lastly raged against his Democrat counterpart, Hillary Clinton by saying: “She is not competing against me, she is competing against change and against all of the American citizens”.
