Mexico agrees to make more predictable water deliveries to the US

Mexico and the United States have reached an agreement for Mexico to send a minimum amount of water annually to the U.S. President Donald Trump had threatened to raise tariffs on Mexican imports if more water wasn't delivered. The new deal requires Mexico to send at least 350,000 acre-feet of water each year during the current five-year cycle. This differs from the 1944 Water Treaty requirements. The U.S. has complained about Mexico's water debt affecting Texas farmers. The agreement aims to even out deliveries. Mexican farmers, especially in drought-hit northern states, are concerned about the impact.
