Mexico’s President Claudia Shenbam on Tuesday denied the news that Mexico had surrendered to US demands for the immediate water supply required for the 1944 contract, which allocates surface water on their shared border. One of the reports published by the Mexican Newspaper reform said the Kohuvila Dam was “La Amistot” Its extraction has increased by 600%.
Called out the published statements as “false” Shenbam said his administration was negotiating to send more water to the United States with the Northern states, while the widespread drought conditions were unable to continue delivery.
“Negotiations with the governors of Tama UL Lipas, Kohuwila and Sivawa are underway. Reach a joint agreement to determine how much water can be supplied without affecting Mexican manufacturers. 1944 Agreement“Sheinbam told his daily press conference.
Mexico is looking for solutions After falling behind its necessary water supply, US President Donald Trump prompted to threaten sanctions.
Last Thursday, Trump was taken to social media, criticizing Mexico’s failure to fulfill contract duties.
“Mexico owes 1.3 million acres to Texas under the 1944 Water Agreement, but Mexico unfortunately exceeds their contractual duty, and it affects the farmers of South Texas,” Trump wrote in the community of truth, and “… we also give any obstacle, Maccoco.
On the same day, Shinebam said his government was working to solve the issue. Friday, he said Mexico estimates how much water can be sent to its northern neighbors.
It was triggered National And International media Although Shinebam later said that the Mexico rainfall would depend on the amount of rainfall in the coming rainy season, reporting that the US is making demands for the avoidance of Mexico fees.
Mexico hopes to reach an agreement with the United States in the “next few weeks” to avoid the problem in current trade negotiations. A proof of Reuters quoted “The US’s expectations must actually be the foundation. (Mexico) cannot provide water without water.”
Last week, Mexico submitted a plan to the United States, which emphasized the distribution, which depends on the availability of water. At the same time, the Shinbam administration is negotiating with the northern states, and their shortage is reluctant to share more of water supply.
The officials of Siva and Tam UL Lipas have told Reuters that their states cannot leave extra water and questioned the legitimate character of the recent contract amendment, which gives the Mexican government more power to take water from them.
“We cannot provide water to the United States when our people are not enough,” Shiva Governor Maria Eugene Gampos said at a press conference. “No one owes to doing what is impossible.”
Mario Mata, Managing Director of the Sivava Water Council, told Newspaper El Finanzero that the government is considering legal action against the amendment.
The chance of the positions between the farmers and the federal authorities is not far away. In 2020, an opponent was killed when a National Guard of Mexico collided with the farmers of Sivava’s Pokuvila Dam in connection with the water supply to Texas.
Under the contract, Mexico must send 1.75 million acres of water from the United States to the United States every five years. The current five -year cycle ends in October, but according to the International Border and Water Authority’s data, less than 30% of the required water is shipped.
Reuters reported that Mexico argued that a historical drought triggered by climate change, but the Texas Republicans had rejected the explanation.
Although Texas politicians have publicly blamed the Mexico deal, the US took an unprecedented level of refusal to deny a Mexican request to send water from the Colorado River to Dijuana. It has been rejected on both sides since the agreement was signed 80 years ago.
