The Trump administration and Mexican officials had a positive meeting Monday night on addressing sewage flowing into California and are developing plans to address the decades-old issue, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said Tuesday. Zeldin, speaking at the Marine Corps base in San Diego, said he had a 90-minute conversation with Mexican Environment Secretary Alicia Bárcena and both sides agreed to collaborate on steps to repair and upgrade an international sewage treatment plant that cleanses Mexican wastewater before it enters the United States. … Major infrastructure upgrades agreed on in 2018 and funded through the U.S.-Mexico trade agreement negotiated by Trump during his first term aren’t yet finished, allowing billions of gallons of raw sewage to reach the Tijuana River Valley and eventually the ocean.
