US to escalate claim that Mexico corn policy violates trade pact -Bloomberg News


Aug 17 (Reuters) – The United States is preparing to escalate its complaint that Mexico’s ban on genetically modified corn violates the neighbours’ free-trade deal, Bloomberg News said on Thursday.
The office of the U.S. Trade Representative plans to request the formation of a dispute resolution panel under the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), according to the report, which cited people familiar with the matter.
The U.S. Trade Representative did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
