WASHINGTON — A trade panel found Friday (Saturday in Manila) that Mexico's restrictions on US genetically engineered corn go against the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, marking a win for President Joe Biden's administration in its final days.
The dispute settlement panel was established in 2023 after a Mexico decree called for a ban on the use of genetically engineered corn in dough and tortillas and gave instructions to phase out the use of such corn for other food purposes.
