Mexico wall: Trump aide says concrete wall idea was dropped early on

The idea of a concrete wall on the US-Mexico border was dropped early on Donald Trump's presidency, his outgoing chief of staff John Kelly says.

Mr Trump made the idea of a solid wall on the border a key pledge from the start of his presidential campaign in 2015.

But by saying the idea of a concrete wall was dismissed long ago, Mr Kelly appeared to contradict the president.

Mr Trump has tweeted the term "wall" 59 times this month alone.
