Building on December's initial accord, Mexico and the US agreed to a minimum annual Rio Grande water supply of 350,000 acre-feet, addressing drought deficits and past shortfalls under the 1944 Water Treaty. The deal follows a call between Presidents Sheinbaum and Trump, with plans for debt repayment and monthly oversight to support border communities.
