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 Trump's Strait of Hormuz Toll Threatens Global Trade","slug":"why-trump-s-strait-of-hormuz-toll-threatens-global-trade","published_at":"2026-07-13T18:05:31+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/trade-and-tariffs-with-fexingo-international-commerce-trade-wars-and-global-supply-chains-7871709/why-trump-s-strait-of-hormuz-toll-threatens-global-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-0112.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/trade-and-tariffs/episode-0112.mp3","summary":"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","meta_description":"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 20…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":525,"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-trump-s-strait-of-hormuz-toll-threatens-global-trade/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-trump-s-strait-of-hormuz-toll-threatens-global-trade.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
