Beef Crisis Hits U.S. Trade Talks | Jackson News

Beef prices are soaring—not just for summer grills, but because a deadly screwworm outbreak in Mexico has spilled into the U.S., hitting a fragile cattle market. With the North American trade deal under renegotiation and President Trump hinting at non-renewal, the stakes are high. The U.S., Canada, and Mexico are deeply tied in beef trade: the U.S. imports young cattle from Mexico and finished beef from Canada to keep prices stable. When imports dropped last year, the system’s fragility was exposed. Now, trade talks could trigger tariffs and inspections, further inflating costs and threatening farmers’ livelihoods—showing just how vulnerable our food supply chains are to health crises and political uncertainty.
