Free trade agreements of the United States



The United States is party to many free trade agreements (FTAs) worldwide.

Beginning with the Theodore Roosevelt administration, the United States became a major player in international trade, especially with its neighboring territories in the Caribbean and Latin America. The United States helped negotiate the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (later the World Trade Organization).

The United States' first free trade agreement was signed with Israel in 1985. The free trade agreement with Israel creates the most American jobs creating per value of trade between the two countries of all American free trade agreements.
