Canada says will join as third party in US-Mexico dispute over GM corn imports

Canada said it will join the US-Mexico dispute over GM corn imports as a third party. The move reflects Canadian interest in the outcome of the USMCA challenge to Mexico's biotech corn restrictions.

WHY IT MATTERS

Broader third-party involvement signals the dispute may be pursued thoroughly, keeping pressure on North American corn trade flows to Mexico.
