United States President Donald Trump has threatened to impose tariffs and "maybe even sanctions" on Mexico, accusing the country of violating a 1944 water treaty.
"Mexico OWES Texas 1.3 million acre-feet of water under the 1944 Water Treaty, but Mexico is unfortunately violating their Treaty obligation. This is very unfair, and it is hurting South Texas Farmers very badly," Trump said on Truth Social.
"My Agriculture Secretary, Brooke Rollins, is standing up for Texas Farmers, and we will keep escalating consequences, including TARIFFS and, maybe even SANCTIONS, until Mexico honors the Treaty, and GIVES TEXAS THE WATER THEY ARE OWED," he stressed
Who's gonna want to do any tariff deals with the US when Trump decides to threaten them a few days later again? He says there are more than 80 countries who want to make deals with the US, I call that BS. Even Japan said their administration is waiting to hear back from the US and if they don't hear back soon they will take measures on their own... This admin is such a a joke! SPY 400 is not a meme
