President Donald Trump’s threats to impose 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada have left many cities along Mexico's northern border in limbo. Border factories that manufacture goods headed for the U.S. are a vital part of a transnational economic machine that generated more than $800 billion in trade between the U.S. and Mexico last year.

Manufacturing in export-oriented assembly plants known as maquiladoras are the heart of Ciudad Juárez’s economy, with 97% of its goods going to the U.S., according to figures from Mexico’s Economic Ministry. “Everything that happens in the United States: its economic, social policy … directly affects us because companies here in Mexico depend on what they sell in the United States,” said Thor Salayandia, head of his family’s auto-parts manufacturing facility in Ciudad Juárez. “The United States also needs Mexico to keep manufacturing, but they’re not seeing things like that.”
Antonio Ruiz, a compliance officer at Tecma, a U.S. firm that helps foreign companies set up shop along the border, said his was among a number of businesses to call emergency meetings over the weekend as economic forecasters warned that the tariffs could drive Mexico into a recession. Manuel Sotelo, a leader of Mexico’s National Chamber of Freight Transportation who owns a fleet of trucks that cross the border every day, sees the tariff threats as more of a political power move than a future economic reality.
