Abstract:

A NAFTA will help U.S. companies stay competitive with such economic powerhouses as the European Community and Japan by allowing
U.S. companies to produce more products for expart, and thus create more jobs in U.S.-based companies. This will happen because a NAFTA will establish a co-production zone in the U.S., Canada and Mexico that will allow U.S. companies to use more easily the best resources from all three countries to create low-cost, high-quality goods, thereby duplicating the system that the nations in the Pacific Rim and Europe already have used so successfully.
