trade agreements
International business deals
Trade agreements are treaties between countries that establish rules for commerce—reducing tariffs, eliminating quotas, or standardizing regulations.
They range from bilateral deals between two nations to massive multilateral pacts: NAFTA transformed North American trade.
Proponents argue they boost economic growth; critics contend they can harm workers or weaken environmental protections.
