President Donald Trump threatened Mexico with additional tariffs and "even sanctions" if it fails to honor a water treaty with Texas that has caused an ongoing dispute at the southern border.
"Mexico OWES Texas 1.3 million acre-feet of water under the 1944 Water Treaty, but Mexico is unfortunately violating their Treaty obligation," Trump said in a publication on his social media platform, Truth Social. He was making reference to the 1944 agreement in which Mexico is required to deliver 1.75 million acre-feet of water to Texas over five-year cycles.
