Kellyanne Conway blasted those who were “surprised” by the billionaire tycoon’s continued efforts to crack down on illegal immigration.
Speaking on Fox News, the key advisor said the President was “steadfastly committed” to the project and expected it to receive funding.
She said: “He’s going to stick to building that wall and he wants the money to pay for it. The President ran on building the wall, won on building the wall and has remained steadfastly committed to doing it.
“And anybody who’s surprised by that has not been paying attention for over two years.”
Ms Conway said Mr Trump’s election alone had an impact on illegal immigration in America.

She said: “Just the prospect of the wall being built, the prospect of this man being president has resulted in a decrease in illegal border crossings.
“And this is important because people understand that a sovereign nation needs physical borders, this country has spent billions of dollars over the years helping other nations protect their own borders – it’s high time we do it here.
“So he’s telling Congress he’s building the wall, he expects the funding and it’s up to them to work collaboratively.”
The comments come after Donald Trump issued an extraordinary warning that he will “shut down” Government in order to build the wall.
Speaking to supporters at a rally in Phoenix, Arizona, the under-fire American President once again came out fighting with the Republicans needing the support of Democrats to secure funding for the wall in a government spending bill, which they are unlikely to get.
In his speech, Mr Trump said the Democrats were “putting all of America’s safety at risk” by opposing the wall.
He warned that if it came to it, he would risk a government shutdown – which is what happens when legislation funding the federal government cannot be passed by Congress and non-essential services stop.
Mr Trump said: “Now the obstructionist Democrats would like us not to do it, but believe me if we have to close down our government, we are building that wall.”
