“This episode examines the U.S. tax treaty “saving clause,” which lets the United States deny treaty residency tiebreaker benefits to U.S. citizens and effectively causes double taxation for Americans living abroad.

Speakers discuss history, practical harms (FBAR, pensions, capital gains), and a proposed executive-branch remedy: simply choosing not to invoke the saving clause so expats can rely on treaty tiebreakers, plus legal and durability considerations.”
