Mexican Navy sailing ship hits Brooklyn Bridge
"Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the @SEMAR_mx training ship Cuauhtemoc incident at the Brooklyn Bridge. We are monitoring closely and are in touch with the Government of Mexico via @SRE_mx to provide support as necessary. You have our full support," the U.S. Ambassador in Mexico said in a post on X. The Mexican Consulate in New York posted several days earlier that the training ship would be arriving in New York at Pier 17 and people were welcome to visit for free from May 13 to 17. CNN reported Mexican Navy spokesman Capt. Juan Caballero said the ship was on an annual training cruise.

Mexican ship headed wrong way before deadly Brooklyn Bridge crash
Naval cadets dressed in white uniforms could be seen dangling from the ship's crossbeams. Meanwhile, bystanders at one of the suspension bridge's bases, located near New York City's South Street Seaport, fled in terror. Of the 277 on board, two were killed and 22 were injured, including three who were seriously hurt, the Mexican navy said on social media. "Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the @SEMAR_mx training ship Cuauhtemoc incident at the Brooklyn Bridge," the U.S. ambassador in Mexico, Ronald Johnson, said in a post on X. "We are monitoring closely and are in touch with the Government of Mexico via @SRE_mx to provide support as necessary. You have our full support." What caused the crash? The cause of the collision is under investigation. The National Transportation Safety Board launched a "go-team" to the site. New York City Mayor Eric Adams said the Cuauhtemoc lost power just before crashing into the bridge at about 8:20 p.m. ET. Decorative lights remained illuminated on the ship's mast as it struck the bridge. The crash came a little over a year after the Dali, a 984-foot-long cargo ship, lost power while departing Baltimore's harbor and smashed into the Key Bridge, killing six people and destroying critical infrastructure. Ship was heading the wrong direction The training ship arrived at New York's Pier 17 and was open to the public to visit from May 13 to 17, according to the Mexican Consulate in New York. The Cuauhtemoc was supposed to head south out of the New York Harbor and on to Iceland, but it went the wrong direction and sailed under the bridge, officials told The New York Times and the Associated Press. The Brooklyn Bridge, a popular tourist attraction that was completed in 1883, sustained no major damage, New York City transportation officials said. Traffic reopened in both directions after a preliminary inspection. What is the Cuauhtemoc? Cuauhtemoc is a 300-foot long, steel-hulled three-masted barque launched in 1982, according to a recent fact sheet from the ship's handlers. The ship, named after the last Aztec emperor, and its crew are a diplomatic symbol of Mexico abroad, according to the fact sheet.

Mexican ship was headed the wrong way before crashing into Brooklyn Bridge, killing 2
Mexican ship was headed the wrong way before crashing into Brooklyn Bridge, killing 2 Officials are investigating what caused the Mexican Navy tall ship Cuauhtémoc to veer off course and strike the Brooklyn Bridge, killing two sailors and injuring more than a dozen more. Show Caption Hide Caption Mexican Navy ship crashes into Brooklyn Bridge, killing at least 2 At least two sailors are dead and over a dozen were injured after a Mexican Navy ship crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge, according to authorities. Officials are investigating what caused a Mexican Navy tall ship to veer off course and strike the Brooklyn Bridge on May 17, killing two sailors and injuring more than a dozen others on board. Videos shared online captured the training vessel Cuauhtémoc sailing toward the iconic bridge, which connects the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Manhattan. The ship's 147-foot masts, which were shining bright with decorative lights, couldn't clear the arched bridge and were sheared off upon impact. Naval cadets dressed in white uniforms could be seen dangling from the ship's crossbeams. Meanwhile, bystanders at one of the suspension bridge's bases, located near New York City's South Street Seaport, fled in terror.

US-Mexico reach deal to send more water to Texas farmers
The Brief The US and Mexico agreed to a deal that will send more water to Texas ranchers. The US says Mexico has failed to deliver water from the Rio Grande under the 1944 Water Treaty. President Trump recently threatened tariffs and other consequences if Mexico did not honor the treaty. WASHINGTON, D.C. - The United States and the Mexican government reached an agreement that will have Mexico send more water to Texas. The deal is a part of a 1944 treaty. Dig deeper United States Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins made the announcement on Monday. Officials in the U.S. and lawmakers have raised concerns that Mexico is not meeting its obligations under the 1944 Water Treaty. The treaty requires Mexico to deliver 1.75 million acre-feet of water to the United States from the Rio Grande River every five years. In return, the U.S. delivers 1.5 million acre-feet of water to Mexico from the Colorado River. Officials say the lack of deliveries from Mexico has led to severe water shortages for farmers and ranchers in the Rio Grande Valley. The new agreement laid out a plan for short-term water relief for this growing season. The current five-year cycle in the treaty ends in October. President Trump had threatened tariffs and to halt water shipments to Tijuana until Mexico agreed to the deal. What they're saying "Mexico finally meeting the water needs of Texas farmers and ranchers under the 1944 Water Treaty is a major win for American agriculture. After weeks of negotiations with Mexican cabinet officials alongside the Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau, we secured an agreement to give Texas producers the water they need to thrive. While this is a significant step forward, we welcome Mexico's continued cooperation to support the future of American agriculture," said Secretary Rollins. "We look forward to continuing our cooperation with the Government of Mexico to find solutions to the water scarcity affecting communities on both sides of the border, including measures to promote water conservation and to ensure regular and predictable water deliveries to the United States," wrote Tammy Bruce, a spokesperson for the U.S. State Department.

A running list of Trump's executive orders
In the first few months of U.S. President Donald Trump's second term, he made a flurry of moves to shape the national narrative on issues as wide-ranging as designating English as the country's official language, ending the "forced use" of paper straws and placing tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. Presidential actions can take different forms, including executive orders, memoranda and proclamations. In this breakdown, we focus only on executive orders (officially logged in the Federal Register). Let us note here: An executive order is an official document issued by the U.S. president that shapes the way the federal government operates and sends a message as to the president's top priorities in office. It is not a piece of legislation and does not require approval from Congress. The only way to overturn an executive order is through another executive order. Within hours of his inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025, Trump revoked dozens of former President Joe Biden's executive orders. Historically, however, Congress has challenged executive orders and can also delay an order from taking effect, such as by removing funding. Below is a running list of executive orders that Trump has issued during his second term. We will update it as he signs Border Security, Citizenship and ImmigrationExecutive Order: Clarify the military's role in protecting national Issued: Jan 20, 2025 Clarify the military's role in protecting national borders; have the secretary of defense revise a plan to "seal" the borders and "repel forms of invasion."Topic: Border Security, Citizenship and ImmigrationExecutive Order: Impose a 25% tariff on products of Issued: Feb 1, 2025 Declare and reiterate a national emergency at the U.S.-Canada border and impose a 25% tariff on products of Canada.
