Both Mulroney and Clinton introduced major international free trade agreements during their time in office; Mulroney introduced the Canada–United States Free Trade Agreement on October 4, 1987 and Clinton signed into law the North American Free Trade Agreement on January 1, 1994 which created a trilateral trade bloc in North America.

Brian Mulroney served as the 18th prime minister of Canada from September 17, 1984, to June 25, 1993; his tenure was marked by the introduction of several major economic reforms including the Goods and Services Tax and the Free Trade Agreement with the United States. During his tenure, Mulroney's close relationship with President Ronald Reagan secured the ratification of a free-trade treaty with the United States under which all tariffs between the two countries would be eliminated by 1998.
