The self-proclaimed international king of the Roma, Dorin Cioaba, has sent a letter to U.S. President Donald Trump informing him that his people would be willing to work on building the wall between U.S. and Mexico. He said that Roma people don’t have jobs and have a precarious financial situation.

“The Roma nation, which I represent, wishes you to have strength for the work you will do and may God bless the decision you will make for international peace and prosperity. I also want to assure you that the nation I represent will support your projects, and the first collaboration offer make you is to build the wall between American and Mexico together,” Cioaba wrote in his letter to Trump, according to local Agerpres.

“Our offer is to make the wall at a low price because the Roma people don’t have jobs and the Roma’s financial situation is very precarious. Nonetheless, we want to inform you that the Roma are good craftsmen in forging steel and can design and execute the work you wish to make,” the letter also states.

When asked to comment the Roma king’s offer, U.S. Ambassador to Romania Hans Klemm said that he wasn’t aware of this letter. “I can’t comment on this, but I can say, based on President Trump’s previous statements, that he probably would wish Americans to build this thing,” the Ambassador said, according to Agerpres.

U.S. President Donald Trump signed on January 25 the executive order for building a wall at the border between the U.S. and Mexico, to stop illegal immigrants from getting into the U.S. Work on the wall, which is some 3,200 kilometers long, should start in the next six months. During the campaign for the Presidential elections Trump made the wall between the U.S. and Mexico one of his main promises. He also said that Mexico would pay for building the wall.

Donald Trump has made several controversial decisions since taking over as President. On January 27, Trump signed an executive order that severely restricts immigration from seven Muslim countries, suspends all refugee admission for 120 days, and bars all Syrian refugees indefinitely. The order has determined strong reactions in the U.S. and abroad.

Dorin Cioaba, who lives in Sibiu, Romania, is the heir of Florin Cioaba, who proclaimed himself the international Roma king in 1997. Florin Cioaba died in 2013.
