Manufacturing in export-oriented assembly plants known as maquiladoras are the heart of Ciudad Juárez’s economy.

The factories were born in the 1960s in an attempt to boost economic development in northern Mexico and lower prices for U.S. consumers.

This week , workers and business leaders breathed a sigh of relief when Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced she had negotiated with Trump to delay tariffs one month .

Business leaders say they've watched investment dip in Ciudad Juárez because of political uncertainty.

They say it could also spur a rise in violence in border areas by pushing the unemployed into the hands of drug cartels.

Trump ’s election has been the primary driver of that uncertainty, June elections in Mexico and a controversial judicial reform have added to it.
