Donald Trump is making trade deals front and center in his White House comeback bid.

Clinton signed the North American Free Trade Agreement that went into effect on Jan. 1, 1994 .

The deal was fiercely opposed by labor unions and some environmentalists but backed by Clinton , Newt Gingrich , and a coalition that included the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

NAFTA is considered a bellwether in a larger movement toward free trade, which was continued when China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001 .

The Harris campaign maintains it is the only choice for union households.

Friedman maintains that any analysis of NAFTA and free trade has to include the wider context.
