North American Free Trade Agreement
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was a treaty between Canada, Mexico and the United States that created one of the world's largest free trade areas. Signed in 1992, it came into force on 1 January 1994, the day the Zapatista rising began in Chiapas. It removed most tariffs between the three countries and tied Mexico's economy closely to the United States; it was replaced by the USMCA in 2020.
