President Donald Trump threatened to impose tariffs, and perhaps the sanctions against Mexico, if they still rob South Texas farmers from Rio Grande Water, promised in accordance with the contract with the old decades.
In the Truth Social post on Thursday, Trump declared Mexico owed to Texas 1.3 million hectares of water under the aquatic agreement of 1944, although Mexico violated their obligation.
“This is very unfair and very harmful to the farmers of the southern Texas,” the president wrote. “Last year, the only Sugar Sugar mill closed because Mexico was stealing water Texas farmers. Ted Cruz led the fight to reach the southern Texas, the water owed to her, but Sleepy Joe refused to raise his finger to help farmers. That is over now! “
Trump continued, saying that he would make sure that Mexico was not violating contracts with the US and hurt farmers in Texas.

“Just last month, I stopped the shipments of the water in Tijuan until Mexico was in accordance with the 1944 Water Agreement,” he said. “My secretary for agriculture, Brooke Rollins, is advocating for farmers in Texas, and we will continue to escalate the consequences, including tariffs and even sanctions, until Mexico respects the contract and does not give Texas the water that owes them!”
Texas agricultural groups warned about the catastrophic season ahead of them for Citrus and Sugar, last year, while Mexican and American officials tried to resolve the dispute over the 1944 water contract, which supplies US farmers with critical irrigation.

According to the contract intended for the distribution of common water resources, Mexico is obliged to send 1.75 million acres of water from Rio Grande to the US During a five -year cycle.
The Texas Citrus industry of half a billion dollars depends largely on Mexico water, especially with the conditions of droughts that have become stronger in the region. In fact, Texas is the third largest Citrus state behind California and Florida.
Last month, the Western hemisphere Burea announced that he was refusing Mexico’s request to submit water to Tijuan.
