Border cities in Mexico face uncertainty over potential U.S. tariffs
Cities along Mexico's northern border are facing uncertainty due to President Trump's threats of 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada. Despite a one-month delay announced by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, concerns about job security and investment persist. Manufacturing in border cities, particularly in Ciudad Juárez, relies heavily on exports to the U.S. The potential tariffs could severely impact local economies, with many workers and business leaders expressing anxiety over the future. The ongoing tariff threats have already led to reduced investment and halted production in some factories. Business leaders warn that continued uncertainty could drive companies to relocate, further destabilizing the region's economy.
