The U.S. refused a request by Mexico for water due to shortfalls in sharing by its southern neighbor.

The 1944 treaty governs water allocation from the Rio Grande and Colorado rivers.

A year ago the last sugar mill in southern Texas shut down, blaming a lack of water deliveries from Mexico .

The water dispute comes as President Donald Trump ramps up a battle on another front.
