Breaking News: Former President Trump says Mexico owes the U.S. over 800,000 acre-feet of water under the 1944 Water Treaty.
He is demanding that 200,000 acre-feet be delivered before December 31, or the U.S. will impose a 5% tariff immediately.
Background:
✅ The 1944 treaty requires Mexico to deliver 1.75 million acre-feet every 5 years.
✅ Mexico delivered less than 30% in the latest cycle.
✅ Over 75% of Mexico is in moderate to extreme drought.
This adds another layer of trade tension between the U.S. and Mexico, with potential impacts on exports, agriculture, and markets.
