US Eases Mexican Cattle Import Ban, Resumes Crossings at Douglas Port

The USDA has partially lifted its ban on Mexican cattle imports, resuming trade through a smaller port in Douglas, Arizona, with 6,500 head crossing so far. The ban was originally imposed due to bark beetle concerns, though the specific risk and full scope of the easing remain unclear. This marks a gradual normalization of a key agricultural trade flow between the two countries.
