USTR announced bilateral negotiating rounds for the first Joint Review of USMCA; the second round in Washington, D.C. 'will also include discussions on agriculture and a level playing field.'

This does not prove Scott's request was acted on specifically, but it shows the USMCA review process has moved into official bilateral negotiations where agriculture and level playing field issues are on the agenda.
