The United States on Monday threatened legal action against Mexico's plan to ban imports of genetically modified corn in 2024, saying it would cause huge economic losses and significantly impact bilateral trade.

The countries are already in dispute resolution talks over Mexican energy policies, which the United States argues violates the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade pact.

Citing the "deep concerns" of U.S. farmers over Mexico's impending ban on genetically modified corn, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack said in a statement following a meeting with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador: ""We must find a way forward soon." "I emphasized in no uncertain terms that - absent acceptable resolution of the issue - the U.S. Government would be forced to consider all options, including taking formal steps to enforce our legal rights under the USMCA," he added.

The planned ban would halve Mexico's imports of yellow corn from the United States, a Mexican agriculture official

Covid vaccines started the same way,they started enforcing vaccinations and introducing mandates and lockdowns

US multinationals want to control people because when you control food, you control people that's the philosophy of Kissinger. They are forcing Kenyans to accept GMO...they want to destroy our health and biodiversity.

US is always the gatekeeper of democracy

So US is forcing GMO food down people cores,

Now we understand the frequent visits by U.S officials to 🇰🇪

We're on to you U.S.A. trying to poison the world

The US is starting to push all the wrong corners! It won’t be more than 10 years before the US is a has-been country like all other fallen empires!

👏Mexico!

The pre-Columbian peoples of Mexico INVENTED corn cultivation, they don't need or want our Frankenstein food. Leave them be

The US government is a pest

Very sad

Where is the EU, VN, The Netherlands to contempt and stop a bullying big country?! Where is the media and people outrage?! All hypocrites when it comes to US.

Let's just starve people because we don't know how to conserve land, and we'd rather demagogue to idealists. Haven't we had enough of this quackery with the swarm of anti-vax idiots over the last few years? Do we really need to stir up more Dunning-Kruger?

But the US are the good guys

If i can't know where meat came from because of them, they can eat some frankincorn and like it!

Can't blame them if they don't want Genetically Modified foods, it's their right, I don't want it either.

Mexico's right to refuse GMO products.

And the same is being pushed here in Kenya by America to start implementing GMO hub. Never! NO to GMO food.

Mexico being Mexico.

So let me get this straight. The US wants to sue Mexico because they can’t force them to buy their genetically modified monstrosities?

Classic US : 'How DARE you stop us selling you genetically modified Frankencorn ?' 🤡

What's in the corn.

The US is really turning into something evil
