A busy trade port along the US-Mexico border remained closed for a third day amid rising anger about orders from the governor of Texas requiring extra inspections of commercial trucks.The slowdowns began after the Republican Governor Greg Abbott ordered officials last week to conduct vehicle safety inspections at entry ports to uncover the smuggling of people and contraband. The measures have snarled traffic and led business groups to warn of supply chain disruptions.Since Monday, Mexican truckers have blocked the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge in protest. Unusually long backups — some lasting 12 hours or longer — have stacked up elsewhere along Texas’s roughly 1,930-kilometre (1,200-mile) border.
