The United States has signed bilateral trade agreements with 20 countries, including Israel, Jordan, Australia, Chile, Singapore, Bahrain, Morocco, Oman, Peru, Panama and Colombia. In addition to creating a U.S. commodity market, expansion has helped spread the mantra of trade liberalization and promote open borders to trade. However, bilateral trade agreements can distort a country`s markets when large multinationals, with considerable capital and resources to operate on a large scale, enter a market dominated by smaller players. As a result, they may have to close their stores if they compete. The modern history of the global trading system, and in particular international trade agreements, is demonstrated by shifts between bilateralism, regionalism and multilateralism. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, bilateralism was clearly predominant. Trade agreements were negotiated on a bilateral basis between the various countries. In the 1860s and 1870s, England initiated much of this activity and encouraged its trading partners to sign trade agreements that lowered reciprocal tariffs. In the 1930s, it was the United States that gave a major boost in this area with its program of mutual trade agreements, although a number of other countries also participated in the negotiation of bilateral tariff reduction agreements.

This means that they can come into force more quickly in order to reap the commercial benefits more quickly. If negotiations for a multilateral trade agreement fail, many countries will instead negotiate a series of bilateral agreements.
