Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was signed on December 17, 1992 by the leaders of Mexico, the United States, and Canada: Carlos Salinas de Gortari, George H. W. Bush, and Brian Mulroney. It created one of the world’s largest free trade zones and transformed Mexico’s economy toward exports.

Be careful not to confuse the signing date with January 1, 1994, when the treaty entered into force. In 2020 NAFTA was replaced by a new agreement, the USMCA (known in Mexico as the T-MEC).
