On zero-cycles of varieties over Laurent fields

We generalize a recent result of Pavic--Schreieder regarding the surjectivity of the obstruction morphism defined in [PS23]. As a consequence of this result, we show that geometrically (retract) rational varieties over a Laurent field of characteristic 0, which admit a strictly semi-stable model, have trivial Chow group of zero-cycles. Our key new ingredient comes from toric geometry.
