In a fiery and unapologetic Truth Social post, President Donald J. Trump once again proved that America’s farmers finally have someone in their corner. This time, he’s taking on a decades-old injustice: Mexico siphoning off water from hardworking Texans in violation of a 1944 treaty. And unlike the Biden administration, which has sat idly by, Trump is bringing real consequences to the table—tariffs, sanctions, and action.
For years, American farmers along the Rio Grande have struggled with dwindling water supplies, not because of nature, but because Mexico has allegedly refused to meet its obligations under the 1944 Water Treaty. The treaty—designed to ensure fair sharing of the Rio Grande and Tijuana River—has been trampled by our southern neighbor while Washington bureaucrats yawned. Until now.
“Mexico OWES Texas 1.3 million acre-feet of water,” Trump declared. “But Mexico is unfortunately violating their Treaty obligation. This is very unfair, and it is hurting South Texas Farmers very badly.”
He’s absolutely right. This is more than a paperwork dispute. It’s a betrayal of American agriculture. It’s the reason why, as Trump pointed out, Texas lost its last sugar mill in 2024. These aren’t just statistics—they’re real jobs, real livelihoods, and real families being devastated while career politicians in D.C. look the other way.
Senator Ted Cruz has been fighting this battle in Congress, but under Biden’s watch, federal inaction has continued. “Sleepy Joe refused to lift a finger to help the Farmers,” Trump said—and it’s hard to argue. The silence from the White House has been deafening.
But that silence ended with Trump’s latest declaration: **water shipments to Mexico are blocked** until they fulfill their side of the bargain. “THAT ENDS NOW!” Trump thundered. “I will make sure Mexico doesn’t violate our Treaties, and doesn’t hurt our Texas Farmers.”
And it’s not just about turning off the tap. Trump made clear that economic pressure is coming fast if Mexico doesn’t comply. “We will keep escalating consequences, including TARIFFS and, maybe even SANCTIONS,” he warned. “Mexico will honor the Treaty and GIVE TEXAS THE WATER THEY ARE OWED!”
Of course, Trump’s bold leadership on trade isn’t limited to Mexico. He’s been equally tough on China. In a separate post, the president announced a **125% tariff** on Chinese goods to punish Beijing for its blatant theft of American intellectual property and market manipulation.
“The days of ripping off the U.S.A. are no longer sustainable or acceptable,” Trump wrote. And when other nations came to the table to negotiate in good faith? Trump rewarded them with a temporary 90-day pause and a reduced reciprocal tariff—10% instead of the hammer he dropped on China. That’s called leadership: using strength to command respect, not weakness to invite exploitation.
While globalists and left-wing pundits clutch their pearls, real Americans—especially those who feed this nation—are cheering. Trump’s America First agenda isn’t just a slogan; it’s a battle plan. And this time, it’s Texas farmers who are getting the backup they’ve long been denied.
Bottom line: Mexico’s water-grab days are over. Trump is back—and this time, he’s bringing the rain.
