## Resource

Lucas and Luna break down the brewing trade confrontation between the U.S. and France over digital services taxes. With Donald Trump threatening 100 percent tariffs on French wine and France defending its tech tax as a fairness measure, the episode explores the stakes for European exporters, American tech giants, and the broader WTO framework. Using the latest trade balance data and the trade-weighted dollar index at 120.1, the hosts examine whether this fight is a precursor to a broader transatlantic trade war or a negotiable skirmish. They also connect the tension to emerging market ETFs like EWZ and EWW, which have surged over 4 percent in the past week as investors rotate toward non-European exposure. No hot takes, just concrete numbers and historical context on how digital taxation became the new frontier in global trade disputes. #FranceDigitalTax #USFranceTrade #TrumpTariffs #DigitalServicesTax #WineTariffs #TechTaxation #EuropeanUnion #WTO #TradeWar #Tariffs #ExportEconomy #StrongDollar #EmergingMarkets #EWZ #EWW #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
