Each episode opens with a specific data point: a new WTO ruling, a sudden tariff hike on semiconductors, a shipping-cost spike out of the Red Sea. Lucas, a former trade journalist, walks Luna through the legal and economic logic behind the headline; Luna, a supply-chain analyst, pushes back with on-the-ground logistics data from Port of Shanghai container indices and factory PMIs. Together they trace how a 25% steel tariff in Washington reshapes auto-assembly plants in Mexico, how export controls on Dutch lithography machines stall China's chip ambitions, and how the USMCA's rules of origin are quietly redrawing North American investment flows. The show avoids both jingoistic cheerleading and academic detachment — it's for the procurement director who needs to know whether to hedge yuan exposure, the policy wonk tracking Section 301 exclusions, and the investor recalibrating country-risk models. Every episode ends not with a verdict but with a tension: if the EU slaps digital-services taxes on US tech giants, does t…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-18T12:20:17.875958+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/trade-and-tariffs-with-fexingo-international-commerce-trade-wars-and-global-supply-chains-7871709"},"episode":{"title":"How France's Digital Tax Fight Could Reshape EU Trade","slug":"how-france-s-digital-tax-fight-could-reshape-eu-trade","published_at":"2026-06-15T05:48:46+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/trade-and-tariffs-with-fexingo-international-commerce-trade-wars-and-global-supply-chains-7871709/how-france-s-digital-tax-fight-could-reshape-eu-trade","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/trade-and-tariffs-with-fexingo-international-commerce-trade-wars-and-global-supply-chains-7871709","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/trade-and-tariffs/episode-0053.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/trade-and-tariffs/episode-0053.mp3","summary":"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","meta_description":"Lucas and Luna break down the brewing trade confrontation between the U.S. and France over digital services taxes.
