Who will profit from Trump's border wall?

https://www.sltrib.com/opinion/letters/2019/01/19/letter-who-will-profit/

"Evraz, Russia's second-largest steel company, owns three American steel companies: one in Pueblo, Colo., one in Portland, Ore., and one in Chicago. Russian Roman Abramovich, who lives in Moscow, owns the controlling shares in these "American" steel companies.

If Evraz gets a contract to supply steel slats for a border wall, a lot of our hard-earned tax dollars will end up in the pockets of Russian oligarch Abramovich and his cronies, including Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Interestingly, Ivanka Trump is friends with Abramovich's wife.

He'll have assurances from the builders before they get the contracts that they'll give campaign contributions to him which he'll funnel into his pockets with. He's using that ploy with many thing too, like policies sales , and the upcoming infrastructure contractors also. It'll all be scams to funnel money to himself or others for him.
