NAFTA review finds modest positive economic impact
A Clinton administration study and an independent DRI/McGraw Hill analysis found NAFTA has not caused disaster or massive job loss. U.S. exports to Mexico rose by 12 billion, imports from Mexico grew by 5 billion, and 90,000 to 160,000 U.S. jobs were tied to exports. The report projects Mexico could soon overtake Japan as a trade partner, with benefits likely to rise as tariffs fade.
