Within 10 years all tariffs would be eliminated apart for some agricultural products to Mexico.

Its secondary purpose was to make these countries more competitive in the global marketplace.
Grocery prices went down because NAFTA lowers the cost of produce imported from Mexico and Canada.
Oil prices went down because the United States could now import much of its oil from Mexico and Canada. The elimination of tariffs plus the lack of political tension makes this cheaper than importing from the Middle East.  
President ドナルド・トランプ
 signed an executive order January 23,​ 2017, to renegotiate NAFTA. He would require Mexico to end its value-added tax on U.S. companies. He claims it acts as a tariff on U.S. exports to Mexico. Trump would ask Mexico to end the maquiladora program because it undercut American workers by sending jobs to Mexico.]]> 2017-08-15 03:02:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kelly_russell79/o9vl3t2ckejz/wish/181023032
