trade pacts
International business deals
Trade pacts are formal agreements between countries governing commerce—reducing tariffs, setting quotas, or establishing rules for imports and exports.
They range from bilateral deals between two nations to multilateral arrangements like NAFTA or the EU's single market.
The trade pact eliminated duties on agricultural goods.
Critics argue such pacts favor corporations over workers.
