Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins has indicated the USDA does not plan to re-open the Mexican border to cattle imports yet.
Rollins met with Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum in Mexico City recently, according to a Reuters report, and said she was impressed by Mexico’s commitment to taking the New World screwworm threat seriously.
However, “We’re still not at the point where I am comfortable opening the ports, but I think every day that goes by we get a little bit closer,” Rollins said.
