President-elect Donald Trump said that certain areas of the border wall with Mexico could be fenced.
In an interview with CBS' "60 Minutes", the business mogul was asked if he would accept a fence instead of a wall, Trump replied that "for certain areas I would."
"But certain areas, a wall is more appropriate. I'm very good at this, it's called construction, there could be some fencing," Reuters quoted Trump saying.
