United States President Donald Trump praised Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Monday during his second inaugural address for his role in advancing the construction of the wall along the Mexican border.
Trump retold that Abbott's effort surpassed all expectations, remarking that "the wall was coming up too fast." He said the role was not supposed to fall on the governor, but that he has done a "fantastic" job. The president promised the administration would start cooperating with Abbott to continue the construction as soon as possible.
