In the United States, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is approved by the House of Representatives.
The US House of Representatives approved the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), advancing a trilateral trade bloc between the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
NAFTA negotiations began in 1991 to create one of the world’s largest free trade areas. The agreement aimed to eliminate tariffs, protect intellectual property, and promote cross-border investment. On November 18, 1993, the US House of Representatives passed NAFTA by a narrow margin. Supporters argued it would boost economic growth and create jobs across North America. Critics warned of potential job losses and environmental concerns. After congressional approval, NAFTA was signed by leaders of the three nations and took effect on January 1, 1994, reshaping continental trade dynamics.
