Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Tuesday that her country intends to send more water to the United States, but not immediately, even as Donald Trump threatens to raise tariffs by 5% on Mexican imports if more water is not delivered as part of a water-sharing agreement.
Sheinbaum said Mexico is proposing a water delivery this month and another one in the coming years. The proposal will be discussed in a virtual meeting with U.S. officials Tuesday, she said.
Mexico is behind water deliveries to the United States from the Rio Grande River because of drought and pipeline limitations, Sheinbaum said.
Why is Mexico giving us water? Are we that hard up? I thought we’d be sending them water.
All of our water is tied up by Nestle. /s
And foreign alfalfa farms.

Some of the US, western states especially, are going to experience some really dangerous water shortages sooner than later.
Which is kind of a disaster of their own making, given the total mismanagement of their watersheds for decades.
Reality is, it’s really the United States who are a third world country…
