Nebraska Congressman Adrian Smith chairs the House Ways and Means trade subcommittee. During the field hearing in Minnesota, Smith criticized the White House trade policies. “Forgive me for expressing my frustration, but the Biden administration is approaching trade with dialogues and frameworks rather than trade agreements.” The United States is seeking intervention through the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement regarding Mexico’s ban on biotech corn imports. Smith wants more to be done. “I’d like to see President Biden take a stage somewhere and make it very clear that what Mexico is doing with our corn is wrong and if Mexico gets away with this, it will undermine all of our rules-based trade approach.”
