President Trump Thursday announced a deal to stop fighting in Gaza.

from the drought-stricken Colorado River. As NPR's Kirk Seagler reports, a new federal plan released by the Trump administration, mostly targets three of the seven states in the river basin. The Colorado River is facing its most severe drought conditions
on record due to climate change. Under this new plan, as expected, major cities like Phoenix, Las Vegas,
“and countless southern California communities”
could be forced to cut their river water used
by close to 100 billion gallons every two years.
The Trump administration for now is only targeting those three states for mandatory cuts. States in the upper Colorado River basin, Wyoming, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado are being asked to make voluntary cuts.
This plan is likely to end up in court with lower basin farmers and cities likely targeting the upper basin, where cities like Denver depend on the river water, but also aren't located anywhere near it and pipits water in.
