Trump has frozen negotiations on the Columbia River Treaty — the 61-year-old water deal between the U.S. and Canada that turns a flood-prone river into a scheduled power machine. But has the treaty actually been scrapped? We break down what's really happening: the $64.4 million one-time flood control payment, the Canadian Entitlement worth $120–300 million a year, the 8.95 million acre-feet of guaranteed flood storage that expired in September 2024, and why Mark Carney and British Columbia hold more leverage than most Americans realize.
This is the full story behind the 1964 Columbia River Treaty — from the Vanport flood that started it all, to Doug Ford's 2025 Ontario electricity surcharge that proved Canada can hit U.S. power bills directly, to the March 2025 negotiation freeze and the 2026 tariff war that's kept talks on ice ever since.
We fact-check the viral claims (no, Trump didn't tear up the treaty overnight — there's no invented "revocation event," no fabricated Carney quote) and lay out exactly what's at stake for power prices, flood risk, and farmland across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and British Columbia if a new deal doesn't get signed.
Sources include the U.S. State Department, Congressional Research Service, CRITFC, the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Bonneville Power Administration, British Columbia's official treaty engagement site, Reuters, BBC, CBS News, CNBC, The Guardian, and The New York Times.
