The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) entered into force
on January 1, 1994. The agreement was signed by President George
H.W. Bush on December 17, 1992, and approved by Congress on
November 20, 1993. The NAFTA Implementation Act was signed into law
by President William J. Clinton on December 8, 1993 (P.L. 103-182).
The overall economic impact of NAFTA is difficult to measure since
trade and investment trends are influenced by numerous other
economic variables, such as economic growth, inflation, and
currency fluctuations. The agreement may have accelerated the trade
liberalization that was already taking place, but many of these
changes may have taken place with or without an agreement.
Nevertheless, NAFTA is significant because it was the most
comprehensive free trade agreement (FTA) negotiated at the time and
contained several groundbreaking provisions. A legacy of the
agreement is that it has served as a template or model for the new
generation of FTAs that the United States later negotiated and it
also served as a template for certain provisions in multilateral
trade negotiations as part of the Uruguay Round. The 113th Congress
faces numerous issues related to international trade. Canada and
Mexico are the first and third largest U.S. trading partners,
respectively. With the two countries participating in the
negotiations to conclude a Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free
trade agreement among the United States and 10 other countries,
policy issues related to NAFTA continue to be of interest for
Congress. If negotiations progress, a TPP agreement could affect
the rules and market access commitments governing North American
trade and investment since NAFTA entered into force. A related
trade policy issue in which the effects of NAFTA may be explored is
the possible renewal of Trade Promotion Authority (TPA; formerly
known as "fast-track authority") to provide expedited procedures
for the consideration of bills to implement trade agreements.
