Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The main downside of NAFTA was the loss of United States manufacturing jobs. Many jobs shifted from the United States to Mexico, as higher-paying factory jobs moved to more cost-effective regions. This was especially true in lower-skilled industries such as the automotive or textile industries.
