Detailed explanation-1: -The goal of NAFTA was to eliminate barriers to trade and investment between the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The implementation of NAFTA on January 1, 1994, brought the immediate elimination of tariffs on more than one-half of Mexico’s exports to the U.S. and more than one-third of U.S. exports to Mexico.
Detailed explanation-2: -NAFTA’s purpose was to encourage economic activity among North America’s three major economic powers: Canada, the U. S., and Mexico. Proponents of the agreement believed that it would benefit the three nations involved by promoting freer trade and lower tariffs among Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
Detailed explanation-3: -In short, NAFTA created a large free-trade zone reducing or eliminating tariffs on imports and exports between the three participating countries (the U.S, Mexico, and Canada). Overall, there was an increase in trade between the three countries, and real per-capita GDP also increased slightly.
