Is NAFTA the hot button just because the average American knows about it? If you remove Mexico from NAFTA, is it still a hot button? To be fair, we do import more from these two countries than we export, but that’s the case with most countries. The US is a heavy importer. Stats here. As you can see, though, it’s also a heavy exporter.
The US also has free trade agreements with a large portion of Central America (CAFTA, which, from memory, covers the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, El Salvador, etc.). There’s an agreement with Peru in the works. There’s also an agreement with Australia of all places. Oh, and there’s Chile. US – Chile Free Trade Agreement.
