On Tuesday, Democrats said they had agreed with the White House on new provisions and planned to back the deal in a vote. After Mexico pushed for a trilateral trade deal in 1991, NAFTA was created to open free trade between the three superpowers, not just two, in North America. President H.W. Bush signed NAFTA in 1992, which was also signed by Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Mexican President Salinas. While there is wide debate about the long-term benefits of NAFTA, the agreement has accomplished several things since its implementation in the 1990s. The politics of fear against the politics of hope. The approval of NAFTA not only represents a victory for the U.S. economy and the American people, but also a blow to unions and other protectionist forces. The agreement reaffirms America`s commitment to competition and free enterprise that other nations are imitating. . .
