Trump orders the border wall painted black to deter climbers
Posted on Aug 20, 2025 / USA
President Donald Trump has directed that sections of the U.S.–Mexico border wall be painted black, citing heat absorption to make the steel harder to touch and climb. Supporters say the darker coating could add a practical deterrent while giving the barrier a uniform look. Officials have also noted potential maintenance benefits, such as reducing visible rust and wear. Critics question the cost and whether paint alone will meaningfully affect crossing attempts. The idea has circulated since his first term and has reemerged alongside broader border security measures. Implementation details, timelines, and costs continue to draw scrutiny and debate.
