The USDA commended Mexico’s action to declaring ineffective measures about genetically engineered (GE) corn that the U.S. challenged in a United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement dispute.
USDA said the country’s action safeguards about $5.6 billion in U.S. corn exports to Mexico.
“Mexico’s action declaring ineffective these GE corn measures is a major victory for U.S. farmers,” said Kailee Buller, USDA chief of staff. “The Trump administration will continue to stand up for U.S. farmers and producers, including tackling countries’ unjustified barriers to products of agricultural biotechnology.”
