# United States Welcomes Mexico’s Actions Towards Resolving USMCA Biotech Corn Dispute | United States Trade Representative

> USTR welcomed Mexico's action declaring ineffective two measures from its 2023 corn decree: a ban on GE corn in dough and tortillas, and a directive to phase out GE corn in other food uses and animal feed. The US will monitor Mexico's compliance with USMCA commitments. The US exported $5.6 billion of corn to Mexico in 2024.
