The facts
No such order appears in the Official Gazette or Presidential Communications Office records. The latest related directive, Executive Order 116 of 19 May 2026, raised the 2026 minimum pork import quota from 54,210 to 204,210 tonnes, and the Agriculture Department's 28 August ban covers only products susceptible to foot-and-mouth disease from 23 countries.
