Washington (CNN) Smuggling gangs in Mexico have been able to breach new sections of President Donald Trump's border wall in recent months, according to a new report from The Washington Post.

Citing US agents and officials with knowledge of the damage, the Post reported that smugglers have been using reciprocating saws to cut through the steel and concrete portions of the wall, creating openings wide enough for people and drugs to be smuggled through.

The agents told the Post the saws can cut through the bollards in a matter of minutes. Engineers told the newspaper that because of the height of the bollards, which are between 18 to 30 feet tall, it's easier to push the steel out of the way to pass through the other side.

Trump said he hadn't heard reports about cutting through the border wall, but, he added, "you can cut through anything."

"We have a very powerful wall, but no matter how powerful, you can cut through anything, in all fairness," the President told reporters at the White House.
