Mexico City: Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Monday criticized the U.S. decision to suspend the import of live Mexican cattle for 15 days, calling the measure unjustified and demanding mutual respect in bilateral relations. "We do not agree with this measure," Sheinbaum said during her daily press briefing. "There is no reason to close the border to Mexican cattle."According to Namibia Press Agency, the U.S. side cited the need to reassess joint efforts to control the screwworm fly, a livestock parasite. However, Sheinbaum emphasized that Mexico has been working closely with U.S. authorities from the beginning. Agriculture Secretary Julio Berdegue has maintained regular contact with his U.S. counterpart, Brooke Rollins, she added.Sheinbaum expressed hope that the ban will be lifted soon and mentioned that she does not anticipate major losses, considering the temporary nature of the measure.
