Following weeks of unrest over Mexico's disobedience to the 1944 Water Treaty and President Donald Trump's threats to impose tariffs on the surrounding nation, the United States made a fresh water supply arrangement with Mexico on Tuesday. Mexico committed to providing a minimum of 350, 000 acre-feet of water annually, or 431. 7 million square meters, during the recent five-year routine established by the treaty, according to a joint declaration from the U. S. Departments of State and Agriculture. According to U. S. leaders, this partnership aims to stabilize agricultural producers and rural communities in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, a crucial area for South Texas ' agricultural production. Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum had a phone conversation last week that led to the statement. to end the conflict.

The leaders "reaffirmed their dedication to assisting communities and producers on both sides of the border and resolving long-standing challenges in liquid management," the official statement states.

tariff pressures and risk

Trump had warned in December that if Mexico did not meet the water deliveries mandated by the 1944 Water Treaty, which regulates the flow of the Colorado, Rio Grande, and Conchos rivers, he could impose a 5 % tariff on Mexican goods.

According to this agreement, Mexico had supply 2. 185 billion cubic feet of Rio Grande annually and 1. 85 billion cubic meters of water annually from the Colorado River.
