U.S. will begin limited imports of Mexican cattle as screwworm outbreak continues

The U.S. is cautiously reopening a southern Arizona port to allow limited imports of Mexican cattle as the screwworm outbreak, which has affected 41 out of 42 reported cases in Texas, continues. This move aims to support the struggling cattle industry while managing the pest threat. Despite the localized outbreak, the partial resumption of imports signifies a step towards stabilizing trade relations and the economy reliant on cattle farming. This cautious approach underscores the need for ongoing monitoring and control measures to prevent wider infestations.
