The United States has requested technical consultations from Mexico under the T-MEC agreement, focusing on transgenic corn and biotechnology, including glyphosate. Mexico's lack of scientific evidence on glyphosate's safety has raised concerns and questions about the potential impact on agricultural sector and food security. The recent Mexican government decree banning the consumption and import of genetically modified corn for certain uses has been criticized for its contradiction and uncertainty, particularly in light of the long-standing history of importing and consuming such corn without incident. Critics argue that the decree lacks scientific foundation and could negatively affect trade relations with the US, emphasizing the need for Mexico to present valid scientific studies or reconsider its ban.
