Mexico sends U.S. water under threat as Trump plays tariff card

MEXICO AGREES TO SEND WATER NORTH, AVOIDS TARIFFS AFTER TRUMP PRESSURE

Mexico agreed to send more water to the U.S after falling behind on a decades-old deal — and things were getting tense.

Texas farmers were furious, Trump froze water shipments to Tijuana, and Mexico’s president Claudia Sheinbaum had to strike a deal fast to avoid tariffs.

Now the U.S gets its water, Mexico avoids more trade drama, and everyone pretends this 80-year-old deal isn’t one broken pipe away from chaos.
