Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Monday that her nation did not agree with the U.S.' decision to suspend Mexican imports of cattle, horses and bison over the presence of the New World screwworm, adding that Mexico had shown collaboration in eradicating the pest. On Sunday, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said she was suspending such imports through the southern U.S. border, with her agency adding the suspension would be in place on a "month-by-month" basis. Mexican Agriculture Minister Julio Berdegue said the measure would only be in place for 15 days, which Sheinbaum repeated in her regular press conference on Monday.
