Plain-English summary
Expresses the sense of the Congress that Mexico should: (1) review whether it properly initiated an antidumping investigation into imports of high fructose corn syrup from the United States in conformity with the standards of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Antidumping; and (2) terminate such investigation.
Declares that if the United States Trade Representative (USTR) determines that Mexico initiated the investigation in violation of WTO standards, and Mexico does not terminate it, then the USTR should immediately take appropriate measures, including actions pursuant to the dispute settlement provisions of the WTO.
