NAFTA stands for the North American Free Trade Agreement. It is a trade agreement signed in 1994 between the United States, Canada, and Mexico, aiming to eliminate trade barriers and promote economic cooperation between the three countries. President Clinton signed NAFTA because he believed it would expand market access, boost economic growth, create jobs, and strengthen the overall competitiveness of the United States in the global economy.
