President Trump on Friday night of a proposed barrier for the US borđ der that included tall steđel slats with spikes on top.

“A design of our Steel Slat Barrier which is totally effective while at the same time beautiful!” Trump tweeted.
The image depicted a Customs and Border Protection vehicle next to the “steel slats” which appear to be about 20 feet tall.

It wasn’t clear who had developed the design. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
