Abstract

International integration associations and agreements play an important role both in the development and in the stabilization of economic relations in various regions of the world. The article examines the historical formation of the Agreement of the North American Free Trade Area (NAFTA), analyzes the problems of this Agreement, which led to its revision and the creation of a new agreement. The author also analyzes the provisions of the new agreement between the United States, Canada and Mexico (USMCA) and compares it with the old Agreement, and also offers a vision of the prospects for the development of economic relations in the region after the entry into force of the USMCA.
