What is NAFTA?

The North American Free Trade Agreement, also known as NAFTA, began on January 1, 1994, and effectively removed most of the barriers to trade and investment between the North American countries of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Since its inception, NAFTA has been breaking down trade tariffs across the continent, including on agricultural products like dairy. With an objective of creating total free trade between the three countries, NAFTA sought full realization of its goal by January 1, 2008.
