Perot was right. 'The "giant sucking sound" was United States presidential candidate Ross Perot's phrase for what he believed would be the negative effects of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which he opposed.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_sucking_sound …pic.twitter.com/l0wfsbZp59
