US and Mexico Reach Key Water Agreement to Aid Texas Farmers

In a significant development, the United States and Mexico have finalized an agreement to enhance water sharing from the Rio Grande, aimed at alleviating the drought conditions affecting Texas farmers. This deal comes as a response to ongoing pressures, including threats of tariffs. Under the agreement, Mexico will increase its water deliveries to the U.S., thereby fulfilling its obligations under the 1944 water treaty. Both Senator John Cornyn and Senator Ted Cruz have expressed their support for this initiative, which is expected to provide much-needed relief to agricultural sectors in Texas amid ongoing water disputes and climate challenges.
