Mexico City: Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Tuesday she was confident of reaching an agreement with US President Donald Trump in a water-sharing dispute, after he threatened new sanctions.
"I am convinced that, as has happened other times, we are going to reach an agreement that benefits the United States and Mexico," Sheinbaum told a news conference a day after Trump's threat.
Trump on Monday accused Mexico of violating a 1944 treaty under which the United States shares water from the Colorado River in exchange for flows from the Rio Grande, which forms part of the border between the two countries.
Trump said Mexico owed 800,000 acre-feet of water to the United States and demanded it release a quarter of this amount by December 31 or be hit with a new five percent tariff.
Sheinbaum said Mexican officials would meet Tuesday with US counterparts to discuss the dispute.
