As expected, American politicians have moved to protect America's Big Ag industry, Despite Mexico's President's Health concerns about GMOs. The U.S. politicians hope to force the Mexican government into continuing the purchase of GMO corn.

In a letter to Ambassador Tai, the Iowa senators write: “Any interruption to [corn export] shipments will severely affect our farmers and the state’s economy and have dire economic consequences for the entire Corn Belt. President Obrador’s decree is not only a non-starter for America’s farmers but also impossible to implement… Despite overtures to the Mexican government for nearly two years, there is little indication from the country’s leadership that it will adhere to its commitments under USMCA. The time has come for the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) to intervene on this issue. I am respectfully calling on you to formally request dispute settlement consultations under Article 31.4 of USMCA.”
