Overview
- The U.S. suspension on imports of live Mexican cattle, horses and bison remains in place, with Secretary Brooke Rollins citing screwworm larvae detected in Nuevo León.
- Rollins said Mexico has not met agreed movement controls or maintained fly traps, conditions Washington set for resuming trade.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum said she cannot give a reopening date and noted her earlier November expectation preceded the latest U.S. statements.
- Sheinbaum designated Agriculture Secretary Julio Berdegué to report on containment efforts and reopening progress after his call with Rollins.
- Mexico is advancing a support plan for ranchers focused on Sonora, Coahuila and Durango, including per‑head aid, feed assistance and infrastructure funding, as industry losses are estimated at $1.3 billion with at least 650,000 head delayed.
