The state of Chihuahua provided a plan that will allow Texas authorities to cease enhanced inspections that have led to backups of trucks from Chihuahua over the past week, Texas Governor Abbott said during a joint press conference with Chihuahua Governor Maria Eugenia Campos Galvan.

The border traffic jam caused millionaire losses, said the affected companies, in particular those exporting perishable agricultural products to the United States.

Campos and Abbott announced their agreements on Thursday as tempers were beginning to get heated and truckers got infuriated for long hours waiting and with no attention, even food and water.

The Texan governor reported that he also kept contact with his Mexican peers from Tamaulipas and Coahuila, Francisco Javier García and Miguel Ángel Riquelme, respectively, and announced he would meet with both on Friday.
