flag Texas urges Trump to penalize Mexico for 925,000 acre-foot water shortfall under 1944 treaty, impacting farmers and prompting trade leverage talk.

flag Texas lawmakers are urging President Trump to enforce penalties on Mexico for failing to meet its 1944 treaty obligation to deliver 350,000 acre-feet of water annually to the U.S., as Mexico fell short by 925,000 acre-feet by October 25, 2025. flag The shortfall, driven by drought, has severely impacted Rio Grande Valley farmers and ranchers, who now have only about half the water needed, disrupting crop production and affecting related industries. flag Lawmakers are pushing for enforcement through trade leverage, including potential USMCA review, while stressing the need for modernized treaty terms, conservation, and infrastructure investment to address long-term water challenges.
