Trump may have said it, but the UK will be taking the steps to build a four-meter high wall to stop migrants from entering the UK illegally.

It is expected that the construction of this wall which will be funded by the UK government and is estimated to cost about $4 million will begin in September and will be completed in December.

Yesterday, UK's junior minister Robert Goodwill told a parliamentary committee that the erection of the new wall will begin soon. He said: "We’ve done the fence, now we are doing a wall,”
