While a Republican president envisioned NAFTA—and a Democratic administration enacted it—it does not enjoy universal support. A video resource collection, including clips from presidential speeches by George H.W. Bush to Donald J. Trump, walks learners through the history of the agreement, as well as current controversies. The resource also links to additional materials to help develop a lesson plan.
