Outgoing Arizona governor builds ‘wall’ of shipping containers on Mexico border

Arizona’s outgoing Republican governor erected a three-mile barrier of shipping containers on the Mexico-US border in his final days in office before handing power to a Democrat.

Topped with barbed wire, the edifice is intended to fill gaps in Donald Trump’s much-vaunted but never completed border wall.

Doug Ducey, who is due to be replaced as governor by Democrat Katie Hobbs, has announced plans to spend $95 million (£78 million) on a 10-mile barrier before he leaves office.
