How long is Trump's border wall?

NPR 19 reported that the US Customs and Border Protection recently released a report saying that since Trump took office, it has decided to spend 1 10 billion dollars to build a new "border wall system" with a length of 576 miles (about 930,000 meters). And this number is still increasing.

"(This border wall) costs nearly $20 million per mile, which is four times that of other most expensive walls being built." Reece Jones, a geographer at the University of Hawaii, said that the border wall built by the Trump administration is now the tallest and most expensive wall in the world. According to NPR, 1 1 billion dollars is close to the price of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
