## Resource

President Trump's proposal to charge a 20 percent toll on cargo ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz could be the most disruptive trade policy of 2026. Lucas and Luna break down what the toll would mean for oil prices, container shipping costs, and the global economy. They discuss how the blockade could strain supply chains, why it's hitting South Korea's KOSPI especially hard, and whether the move is a negotiating tactic or a long-term policy shift. Plus, they explain how the weaker yen and yuan are complicating the fallout. If you've been wondering how geopolitics is reshaping the shipping lanes that power global commerce, this episode gives you the concrete numbers and context you need. #StraitOfHormuz #TrumpTradePolicy #OilPrices #ShippingTolls #GlobalTrade #SupplyChains #SouthKorea #KOSPI #Yen #Yuan #ContainerShipping #Geopolitics #TradeWar #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TradeAndTariffs #Energy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
