# 'No Mas' to U.S. Corn Imports, Mexico Senator Says

> Mexican Senator Armando Rios Piter plans to introduce a bill that would shift Mexico's corn purchases from the US to Brazil and Argentina. The proposal responds to Trump's suggested tariff on Mexican goods to fund a border wall. Mexico buys about 25% of US corn sales for the marketing year to date.

## Why it matters

If enacted, the bill would remove a large share of US export demand, which is bearish for corn. Analysts note that switching suppliers would be logistically difficult, so the impact depends on passage.
