Agriculture Secretary Rollins says US progressing on Mexico water treaty dispute

The Minister of Agriculture, Brock Rollins, shows pressure on Mexico on a growing water crisis threatening southern Texas farmers, announcing on Friday that high -level talks with Mexican officials may finally lead to penetration.

“I just finished a fruitful call with the great Deputy Foreign Minister, Chris Landau, and my counterpart in Mexico to address the urgent crisis arising from Mexico’s failure to deliver water to American farmers, as is obligated under the treaty,” Rollins published X.

“We move quickly – watch up the updates.”

Rollins did not retreat, adding, “American agriculture has requested this relief for years and did not get it. What has changed now is an American president ready to do what is necessary to achieve this.”

During a Friday interview on Agitalk Radio, Rollins revealed how quickly things move. She said shortly after President Donald Trump’s position in fact on Thursday night about Mexico “theft of farmers’ water”, which was contacted by Mexico officials to schedule the talks.

Rollins said: “Let me give you an example. Last night, this social fact came out, as I mentioned, on Mexican waters and on how to steal farmers water, and will not continue anymore,” Rollins said.

“Whether it is a tariff or penalties, we will defend our citrus farmers and others who depend on that Mexican waters. I tell you, last night, within two hours after that the truth, people from Mexico were calling for a call with me this morning.”

Its message comes at a time when frustration on Mexico is escalating on water connections under the water treaty in 1944.

The treaty requires that Mexico send 1.75 million acres of water to the United States every five years of tributaries that nourish Rio Grande. Trump says Mexico is leaving more than 1.3 million acres and hitting South Texas farmers severely, especially during the continuous drought conditions.

Speaking to reporters outside the White House on Thursday, Rollins said the administration was in regular contact with conservatives and agricultural leaders.

After talking to “ten rulers” earlier this morning, Rollins said that the team focused on supporting farmers, especially those who are increasing wheat and fine corn.

“We believe that these changes will create unlimited and unprecedented prosperity for these farmers,” she said.

President Trump also addressed the water issue on Thursday on the social truth, detonating Mexico for its failure to meet its obligations and warn the consequences if it does not ascend.

“This is very unfair, and it harms the farmers of South Texas very badly,” he wrote. Last year, the only sugar mill was closed in Texas, because Mexico was stealing water from Texas farmers.

“We will continue to escalate the consequences, including definitions, and perhaps even sanctions, until Mexico honors the treaty. This ends now!”

Support of senator Ted Cruz, R-TEXAS, management position, describing the water deficiency as a “man-made crisis” and pledged to keep pace with pressure.

Cruz wrote on X.

The Western Ball Affairs Office denied the request of Mexico to obtain a special water delivery to Tijuana last month.

The agency published: “The continuous shortage of Mexico in water delivery operations under the Water -sharing Treaty in 1944 is touching American agriculture.” “Today, for the first time, the United States will deny the unconscious Mexico request.”

This is not the first time that the United States and Mexico have hunted on the 1944 treaty, but officials say the current drought, which is one of the worst in nearly 30 years, makes things worse.

Rollins thanked its Mexican counterpart, Minister of Agriculture, Vivo Manuel Villalopos Arambola, for his “quick and focused interest”, but he made it clear that the time was running out.

Minister Rollins joined the RFD-TV on Friday morning to form negotiations.

“Well, there will be, without giving, as you know, a lot of information that is still secret, and we immediately started moving and preparing discussions,” said Rollins.

“Of course, this is not necessarily the US Department of Agriculture, although I will participate with secretary Rubio in the state and also talk to some other counterparts today, but we hope we have a very fast decision. We will get some water, perhaps.”

The US Department of Agriculture did not immediately respond to the Fox News Digital request for comment.
