The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA; Spanish: Tratado de Libre Comercio de AmÃ©rica del Norte, TLCAN; French: Accord de libre-Ã©change nord-amÃ©ricain, ALÃ©NA) is an agreement signed by Canada, Mexico, and the United States, creating a trilateral trade bloc in North America.
Its roots lie in the United States-Canada Free Trade Agreement of 1988âimplemented by the United States-Canada Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (19 U.S.C.A. Â§ 2112 note [Supp. 1993])âwhich, by the mid-1990s, had already eliminated most trade barriers between the United States and Canada.he House of Representatives narrowly passed the implementing legislation (North American Free Trade Implementation Act [19 U.S.C.A. Â§Â§ 3314 et seq., Pub. L. No. 103-182, 107 Stat. 2057]), and the Senate also passed it. NAFTA specifies a timetable for its changes.
