We have run into Donald Trump again.
That’s why he feints in two ways:
Better results for Mexico in the fight against organized crime as a condition for advancing in the renegotiations of the trade agreement, the T-MEC.
And immediate delivery of one billion cubic meters of water under penalty of applying five percent tariffs to Mexican products.
Let’s talk about the first thing.
Only Claudia Sheinbaum, Donald Trump y Mark Carney They know precisely what was discussed in their private meeting after the draw for the Soccer World Cup.
But in the United States, diplomatic sources say, the magnate has demanded greater control over the flow of drugs to his country and especially fentanyl.
Otherwise, he will add stricter conditions or, worse still, outright follow through on his threat to let it expire to make way for bilateral agreements.
That would happen at the beginning of next year regardless of the progress of the negotiating teams of the three countries and when there are just a few months left until its expiration.
WE DON’T OWE WATER TO ME
The water thing is different.
The main pressure comes from the Texas government and has been poorly informed about the terms under which the 1944 Water Treaty was signed.
It dominates the vision of many Mexican officials, who have fallen into the debt lie because in previous years the stipulated amounts were not delivered.
“Mexico does not owe anything to the United States,” refutes an expert who, as governor of Chihuahua, Patricio Martínez Garcíaimposed his opinion on the claims of his counterpart Rick Perry and from Washington.
It is a federal issue, he says. Martínez García“but I invited Perry to tour Chihuahua, I insisted on the needs of both states and with the treaty in hand and the law I defended everything.”
Perry He understood, the American government did too, and that’s how we overcame our differences.
“At that time -2002- the drought was much more serious than now, but then as today the river beds and dams were dry or had insufficient water.”
-What to do, then?
“The treaty should not be reformed and refers only to the water that runs in the channel and the binational dams,” he says. Martínez García-. “We must negotiate and reach an agreement without modifying the treaty.”
think differently José Luis Luegeformer director of Conagua, who accuses the Mexican government of failing to comply and, therefore, must pay those billions claimed by the United States.
BOOK TO THE BUREAUCRACY
1.- The large number of books in circulation of Lopez Obrador.
Like the previous ones, government offices, officials, legislators and public servants are forced to acquire them for hundreds of thousands.
Here we have pointed it out and we highlight: until now the same has not happened with the one recently presented by the president Claudia Sheinbaum.
2.- The data from the Executive Secretariat of the National Public Security System gave good news for Guerrero.
The entity governed by Evelyn Salgado has left the lists with the greatest violence in the country.
In November it was positioned in eighth place with a decrease in intentional homicides, 24 percent less than those registered in the previous year.
Y 3.- TelevisaUnivision Mexican soccer fans enjoy great success.
