Identify NAFTA, and briefly discuss its purpose and consequences

What will be an ideal response?


NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement, established to promote free trade among the United States, Canada, and Mexico by eliminating trade barriers such as tariffs on imports and exports. NAFTA undermines protection for workers and the environment, and has resulted in some U.S. manufacturing jobs being moved to Mexico, where wages are lower and health and environmental regulations are more lax.
