Ways and Means Chairman Adrian Smith criticized the Biden administration's trade agenda at a hearing with USTR Katherine Tai, including its handling of the USMCA dispute over Mexico's GM corn restrictions. Smith said the administration has failed to enforce existing trade agreements.

After 439 past neutral policy events, Corn moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.2%), and +1.1% over 20.
