El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, salió de su reclusión este martes por primera vez desde que el Capitolio fue asaltado por sus partidarios y viajó a Álamo, Texas, para visitar su la construcción de su emblemático muro fronterizo con México.

A solo ocho días del cambio de gobierno, el mandatario ofreció un mensaje frente a muro durante el cual agradeció la amistad y colaboración del presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador, a quien describió como un “hombre honesto”.

En medio de la tensión que se vivió al sur del país, expresó que el gobierno de Joe Biden “no podrá echar abajo facilmente” el muro.

Judd Deere explicó que la visita conmemorará la “finalización de más de 400 millas (644 kilómetros) de muro fronterizo por parte de Trump -promesa hecha, promesa cumplida-, y los esfuerzos de su administración para reformar nuestro quebrado sistema de inmigración”.

¿La última visita de Trump al muro?

Donald Trump organizó el viaje después de que integrantes de su núcleo le alentaron a participar en eventos que resalten su legado y pasara los dos últimos meses intentando revertir las elecciones presidenciales del 3 de noviembre, ganadas por el demócrata Joe Biden.

La Casa Blanca respondió que su visita no refleja ningín simbolismo en la elección de Álamo. La misión de El Álamo en San Antonio, Texas, fue el escenario de una famosa batalla de 1836 cuando los tejanos fueron derrotados por las fuerzas mexicanas.

Trump trató de reducir la migración transfronteriza y la inmigración legal durante su mandato, y el proyecto del muro se remonta a su promesa de 2016 de sellar la frontera.
