A Transatlantic Free Trade Area (TAFTA) is a proposal to create a trans-atlantic free-trade area covering Europe and North America. Such proposals have been made since the 1990s and since 2013 an agreement between the United States and the European Union has been under negotiation: the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. If an agreement is reached and ratified on both sides (which is not certain) then, at least in theory, it might be expanded to include the other parties to the North American Free Trade Agreement (Canada and Mexico) on the one hand and to the European Free Trade Association on the other.
