Trump Administration Rejects Mexico's Request for Water
https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-water-mexico-treaty-2048567
The United States has refused a request by Mexico for water after supplies under a treaty reached the cutoff point for special deliveries.
Newsweek has contacted the Mexican President's office for comment via email.
It comes as Trump has taken a tough approach to Mexico. His administration reinstated the "Remain in Mexico" policy, officially known as the Migrant Protection Protocols, which requires asylum-seekers to stay in Mexico while their U.S. immigration cases are processed. Additionally, the administration ended "catch-and-release" practices, which previously allowed detained migrants to be released into the U.S. while awaiting immigration proceedings.
Trump has also intensified efforts to expand the border wall, adding new barriers along the southern border. Meanwhile, he has hit Mexico with new tariffs which he says are designed to reduce the flow of drugs over the border. The tariffs could push Mexico into a technical recession this year, according to analysts.
The new move by Trump opens up the possibility for a new battle between Mexico and the Trump administration over border issues.
