The USDA has issued a warning to Mexico about the impending cessation of live animal imports if stronger measures against the New World screwworm aren't put in place. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins expressed urgency in her communication, stressing that delays due to customs duties on sterilizing supplies impede efforts to control the parasite's spread. The screwworm inflicts severe damage on affected animals, and without effective containment strategies, its proliferation could impact U.S. agriculture severely. Rollins emphasizes the critical state of the situation and calls for immediate action.
We do not understand how our official efforts to stop a common pest can be subject to such burdensome customs duties."
We are now at a critical inflection point in our shared campaign against this pest, and I am very concerned about our collaboration."
