The US has warned it will take legal action if Mexico presses ahead with an import ban on GM corn.
Mexico has many native varieties of corn but still imports large quantities of yellow corn from the USA row between the US and Mexico over a plan by the latter to ban imports of genetically modified corn by 2024 deepened on Monday.
Mexico is the second-largest importer of corn in the world after China and much of the corn it buys comes from the United States. The decree caused huge concern among US corn exporters and with the deadline approaching, efforts by the US to sway President López Obrador to drop or soften the planned ban have increased.
"We must find a way forward soon," Mr Vilsack said, warning that the US "would be forced to consider all options, including taking formal steps to enforce our legal rights under the USMCA", referring to free trade agreement between the US, Mexico and Canada.
