Manufacturing hubs along the U.S.-Mexico border are on edge as the threat of a 25% tariff on Mexican and Canadian imports looms over the region. Despite a last-minute agreement between U.S. President Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum delaying the tariffs for 30 days, businesses remain uncertain about their future.
In an attempt to mitigate tensions with the Trump administration, Sheinbaum announced on Monday that Mexico would deploy 10,000 troops to its northern border to curb drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl. The agreement also includes a U.S. commitment to preventing the smuggling of high-caliber weapons into Mexico.
