Answer
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), a trilateral trade bloc between Canada, Mexico, and the United States, faced staunch opposition from Ross Perot, a businessman and political outsider who ran for president as an independent in the 1992 and 1996 U.S. elections. Perot argued that NAFTA would lead to job losses in the United States as businesses relocated to Mexico to take advantage of lower labor costs.
