Mexico-US binational drought fund proposal

Overview

Mexican Senator Mario Vázquez Robles has proposed the establishment of a Binational Compensatory Fund to assist agricultural producers in Mexico and the United States struggling with drought.

Vázquez Robles argued that water security and food security should remain independent of trade relations, specifically noting that there is no legal link between the USMCA and the 1944 Water Treaty. He cautioned against using water delivery as a tool for commercial pressure or a pretext for tariffs. The proposed fund would aim to compensate farmers and finance investments in hydraulic infrastructure, modernized irrigation, and water-efficient technologies.
