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":"Why Olive Oil Trade Is the New Geopolitical Flashpoint","slug":"why-olive-oil-trade-is-the-new-geopolitical-flashpoint","published_at":"2026-07-17T05:52:09+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/trade-and-tariffs-with-fexingo-international-commerce-trade-wars-and-global-supply-chains-7871709/why-olive-oil-trade-is-the-new-geopolitical-flashpoint","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-0119.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/trade-and-tariffs/episode-0119.mp3","summary":"On this episode of Trade and Tariffs with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how the global olive oil market has become an unexpected battleground in trade geopolitics. With the world's largest producer, Spain, recovering from a historic drought-driven crisis, and US tariffs on European agri-food imports still in place, the olive oil trade is reshaping supply chains from Andalusia to California. We look at how a 25 percent tariff on Spanish olive oil has boosted domestic production in the US but left consumers paying nearly 50 percent more at the grocery store. We also examine how Tunisia and Turkey are stepping in as alternative suppliers, and what this means for the future of food trade wars. A focused case study on how a single commodity — one with deep cultural and economic roots — can become a flashpoint in broader trade conflicts. #OliveOil #TradeWar #Tariffs #Spain #US #Agriculture #Geopolitics #SupplyChain #FoodTrade #EU #Tunisia #Turkey #California #Commodity #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TradeAndTariffs Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"On this episode of Trade and Tariffs with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how the global olive oil market has become an unexpected battleground in trade g…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":443,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/trade-and-tariffs-with-fexingo-international-commerce-trade-wars-and-global-supply-chains-7871709/episodes/why-olive-oil-trade-is-the-new-geopolitical-flashpoint/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/trade-and-tariffs-with-fexingo-international-commerce-trade-wars-and-global-supply-chains-7871709/why-olive-oil-trade-is-the-new-geopolitical-flashpoint.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
