Mexico president to discuss corn dispute with Biden week


- Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador will discuss with U.S. President Joe Biden a dispute over genetically-modified (GM) corn imports in a meeting week, the Latin American leader said Friday during a regular conference.

The countries have been at odds over a Mexican decree that would ban GM corn and phase out the herbicide glyphosate by 2024.
