Mexico will increase water deliveries to the United States, the two countries announced, after President Donald Trump threatened to impose sanctions on the country if it didn't take steps to address the unmet obligations.

Concretely, the countries said Mexico will immediately transfer some of its water reserves to the U.S. and also give a larger share of the flow of water from the Rio Grande until October.
