For many Americans, the enemy is "free trade," as ushered in during the [Hillary Clinton] era in the form of the 1993 North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA. Along with the bailout of Mexico a year and a half later, NAFTA counts as one of the most significant economic benchmarks of the Clinton era. It arrived amid lavish promises of hemispheric prosperity that would lift the economies of our southern and northern neighbors (particularly Mexico), so that their citizens could afford to "buy American. NAFTA phased out tariffs on things like automobile parts and textiles, opening the doors to what many liberals and conservatives call an extranational stampede of U.S. manufacturers seeking cheaper production overhead south of the border. For many Americans, NAFTA was the harbinger of...

The economic crisis that began in the US has had a dramatic effect on economies around the world, but none so much as the impact on its two closest trade allies and Nafta partners, Canada and Mexico. The serious consequences of such a close alliance have led some to call for a thorough reexamination of the Nafta agreement. On the other hand, there are many who argue that a tighter economic partnership among Canada, the US and Mexico -- more along the lines of the European Union model -- would be of benefit to all. Nafta has never been significantly amended since its inception despite many threats to do so. It is probably better for governments to focus on ways to jointly solve these new problems than obsess about how they did or didn't solve the problems of the past, says Robert Paterso...

This suspicion about our current free trade policy may even be found in the agricultural sector. Traditionally, this is the sector that has most supported of free trade because agricultural products are one of the few export commodities with which our country still maintains a trade surplus. But Roger McEowen, an agricultural law and economics expert at Iowa State University, recently told the Waterloo Cedar-Falls Courier that politicians' rhetoric about the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) is inaccurately raising farmers' expectations. "Since what the [low-wage, trade partner] countries buy is so trivial and with their buying power, the benefits will be slim to none," McEowen said. "NAFTA hasn't lifted up prices, so CAFTA certainly wont do it. This is why even South Carol...
President Obama is trying hard to allay rising concerns about U.S. economic nationalism and boost confidence in his administration's commitment to international trade. His first effort was in Canada, our North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) partner that had been rattled both by then-candidate Barack Obama's call for the pact's renegotiation and by the "Buy American" provisions in the stimulus package. In his Feb. 19 meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the president said, "We've got to be very careful about any signals of protectionism," noting the importance of "showing leadership in the belief that trade is ultimately beneficial to all countries." The president reassured the prime minister "I want to grow trade and not contract it.
