WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, released the following statement after the government of Mexico suggested they will not negotiate on reversing a ban on U.S. genetically modified white corn:
“Any attempt by Mexico to ban imports of U.S. genetically modified white corn is wrong. It also goes against basic science.
“The Biden Administration must make clear that there can be no flexibility here.
“Mexico already agreed to the USMCA – a ban would directly contradict that agreement. Failure to enforce trade agreements with our allies would undermine ag innovation for years to come.”
