Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) established a free-trade zone in North America; it was signed in 1992 by Canada, Mexico, and the United States and took effect on Jan. 1, 1994. NAFTA immediately lifted tariffs on the majority of goods produced by the signatory nations.

Detailed explanation-2: -The GATT aimed “substantial reduction of tariffs and other trade barriers and the elimination of preferences, on a reciprocal and mutually advantageous basis”, so that the economic recovery after World War II can be boosted. Although the GATT is a legal agreement, it functions as an organization.

Detailed explanation-3: -The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was signed by 23 countries in October 1947, after World War II, and became law on Jan. 1, 1948. The purpose of the GATT was to make international trade easier. In 1995, the GATT was absorbed into the World Trade Organization (WTO), which extended it.

Detailed explanation-4: -The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) entered into force on July 1, 2020. The USMCA, which substituted the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is a mutually beneficial win for North American workers, farmers, ranchers, and businesses.
