United States Resumes Official Activities in Michoacán Following Temporary Suspension

The United States Government resumed all official activities in Michoacán on August 13th, following a temporary suspension announced last week due to security concerns and in response to measures implemented by Mexican authorities in the state.

The U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, Ronald Johnson, announced the decision, stating it was made after evaluating the security conditions in the state and highlighting the coordination with the Government of Mexico to allow for the resumption of activities.

“Following the security measures implemented by the Government of Mexico in Michoacán and our assessment of on-the-ground conditions, the United States Government will fully resume its official activities in Michoacán starting August 13, 2026,” he stated.

Johnson particularly recognized the work of the Security Cabinet of the Government of Mexico and affirmed that U.S. authorities will continue to monitor security conditions in the entity.

“Our priority remains the safety of U.S. personnel and the inhabitants of Michoacán,” he maintained.

The Ambassador also linked the resumption to bilateral cooperation, noting that joint efforts aim to protect, among other aspects, food production, supply chains, and trade between the two countries.

For his part, the Governor of Michoacán,

, celebrated the resumption of official U.S. activities and thanked President Claudia Sheinbaum for her support.

“We reiterate our commitment to continue working in close coordination and mutual respect, strengthening security and consolidating the bonds of cooperation that unite our peoples,” he expressed.

The suspension had implications for activities related to the export of avocados to the United States, due to the temporary interruption of the work of U.S. inspectors responsible for overseeing the corresponding protocols, as previously explained by Ramírez Bedolla.

During the recent suspension, the governor noted that the avocado industry generates over 200,000 jobs in Michoacán, making it a priority to recover the conditions necessary to normalize operations.

Furthermore, Ramírez Bedolla recalled that a similar situation occurred in 2002 and was favorably resolved through dialogue and coordination between authorities.
