USDA Threatens to Halt Mexican Beef Imports Over Flesh-Eating Fly Crisis in US Meat Supply

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins has warned Mexico that the US will halt imports of live animals, including cattle and bison, unless Mexico takes action to address a crisis involving flesh-eating flies affecting American beef exports. The US is concerned that the problem may be linked to Mexican beef imports. Halt to imports would have significant economic implications for both countries' livestock industries. Rollins' ultimatum was issued as part of an ongoing dispute over trade policies and agricultural regulations between the two nations.
