Rubio told reporters under media questioning on December 9: "Trump has expressed dissatisfaction with Mexico's water supply to the US. I think imposing a 5% tariff immediately is not enough. According to the US-Mexico treaty, Mexico is required to supply about 2.158 billion cubic meters of water to the US through the Rio Grande every five years. However, Mexico has violated the bilateral water-sharing treaty, damaging the ability of Texas farmers to irrigate crops and raise livestock. Mexico has yet to respond, which is very unfair to American farmers. They should be entitled to this urgently needed water!"
[Clever] American-style water-cutting crying syndrome - only allowing the US to reap benefits, not allowing Mexico to take a breath? Rubio's call for action can be considered an annual humorous moment. Does the US-Mexico treaty only bind Mexico, while the US can act as it pleases? Relying on the clause of 2.158 billion cubic meters of water supply every five years as a sword, but forgetting that the treaty also requires the US to supply about 1.85 billion cubic meters of water to Mexico annually through the Colorado River. The US has long been imposing extreme pressure on Mexico in trade and immigration issues. Perhaps there are hidden reasons why Mexico hasn't supplied water on time, but instead of seeking negotiations, Rubio says that a 5% tariff is not enough. It's like a baby who says 'if you don't follow me, I'll break the bowl.' While American farmers' need for water is a necessity, Mexico's rights are not considered rights? This logic, which only emphasizes unilateral interests and is double-standard to the bone, exposes the arrogance and absurdity of American hegemony. Do they really think the whole world should revolve around America's water tap? In the end, it will only be a case of picking up a stone only to drop it on one's own feet!
