NAFTA subjected the United States to the jurisdiction of a foreign tribunal for resolving disputes arising under the "free trade" zone created by the law, which is the world's biggest free-trade area. It requires the elimination of every trade barrier between the signers for fifteen years, and includes agreements on the environment and labor. This gave Mexico access to U.S. and Canadian markets, and vice-versa. Its most contentious consequence in 2011 is whether trucks from Mexico will have full access to American highways.
