MEXICO: US agricultural disputes averted
Mexico’s government led by President Claudia Sheinbaum reached two key agriculture-related agreements with the US on 28 April. One of these concerned Mexico’s inability to fulfil its obligations under a 1944 water-sharing agreement, while the other related to a dispute surrounding an outbreak of New World Screwworm (NWS) in Mexico. The disputes reflect the continuing readiness of the administration of US President Donald Trump to threaten punitive trade measures as a negotiating tactic, as well as the conciliatory yet firm approach that President Sheinbaum is taking in dealing with her northern neighbour.
