Great interview with Marco Samaniego! I could not agree more with his analysis. The only thing I would add is to note the sleight of hand at EPA which first held back Border Water Infrastructure funds and then with the new agreement released them. Typical Trump—create the problem, then offer a solution. That is only a slight exaggeration. Lee Zeldin and his crew are busily gutting the La Paz Agreement and the Good Neighbor Board which doesn’t bode well for future cooperation on binational sanitation issues. For what it is worth, Steve Mumme
Thank you for this comment! Means a lot coming from someone with so much expertise on this topic. The point about the EPA is very helpful additional context that I didn’t know about.
