Bloomberg · last updated

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum said her country would deliver more water to Texas as part of a border agreement but that supplies had been limited by several years of drought.

Sheinbaum said that rain could alleviate some of Mexico’s shortages and that improvements to irrigation in would aid its efforts to hand over enough water to the US to meet treaty obligations. Earlier this week, US President Donald Trump threatened Mexico with sanctions after he said it failed to deliver water to Texas.
