| Trump election: Wall with Mexico 'to be part fence' | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| US President-elect Donald Trump has said his planned wall along the Mexican border could be partly fence. | |
| In some areas, "a wall is more appropriate", he told US broadcaster CBS, but "there could be some fencing", | |
| Mr Trump repeatedly promised during his election campaign to build a wall to keep out illegal migrants. | |
| He said he planned to deport or jail up to three million undocumented migrants with criminal records, such as gang members and drug dealers. | |
| Other undocumented migrants would be assessed once the border was secured, Mr Trump added. | |
| Forcing Mexico to pay for a border wall became a rallying cry among Trump supporters during the campaign. | |
| Their candidate caused outrage by suggesting Mexicans were exporting "their rapists" to the US, along with drugs and other crime. | |
| The Republican defeated Hillary Clinton in Tuesday's presidential election, shocking many who had expected the Democratic candidate to win following favourable opinion polls. | |
| In his first major interview to a US broadcaster since the election, Mr Trump told CBS: "What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably two million, it could be even three million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate." |
