Answer:

The reason that NAFTA was developed was because, during the trade negotiations with Canada and the U.S., there was a Free trade agreement that also brought Mexico along. On January 1, 1989, all Tariffs were eliminated, along with duties and restrictions. NAFTA helped with governmental procedures, settlements, intellectual property rights, and trades. NAFTA was well respected by Mexico and Canada after those negotiations between the states. NAFTA was even more appreciated when the negotiations were being conducted and seen in higher paying jobs in the U.S.
