Since the end of World War II, in part due to industrial size and the onset of the Cold War, the United States has often been a proponent of reduced tariff-barriers and free trade. The U.S. helped establish the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade  and later the World Trade Organization ; although it had rejected an earlier version in the 1950s . Since the 1970s, U.S. governments have negotiated managed-trade agreements, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement  in the 1990s, the Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement  in 2006, and a number of bilateral agreements . In Europe, six countries formed the European Coal and Steel Community  in 1951 which became the European Economic Community  in 1958. Two core objectives of the EEC were the development of a common market, subsequently renamed the single market, and establishing a customs union between its member states.

The European Union, now the world's largest single market, has concluded free trade agreements with many countries around the world..
