Answer: Because they want to create the largest free-trade area in the world, enabling the three nations to trade with each other on equal footing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Approved in 1993, the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico allowed goods to travel across their borders free of tariffs; critics argued that American workers would lose their jobs to cheaper Mexican labor.

The 3 nations signed the NAFTA to lift all trade embargoes between the 3 countries. This meant free trade, without them being taxed for bringing their goods into the country
