We explore observational constraints on a cosmological model with an interaction between dark energy (DE) and dark matter (DM), using a compilation of 15 measurements of the 2D BAO (i.e., transversal) scale in combination with Planck-CMB data, to explore the parametric space of a class of interacting DE models. We find that 2D BAO measurements can generate different observational constraints compared to the traditional approach of studying the matter clustering in the 3D BAO measurements. The 2D BAO sample provides strong evidence in favor of the IDE model at more than 3$\sigma$. Also, contrary to the observations for the $\Lambda$CDM and IDE models when analyzed with Planck-CMB + 3D BAO data, we note that Planck-CMB + 2D BAO data favor high values of the Hubble constant $H_0$. From the joint analysis with Planck-CMB + 2D BAO + Gaussian prior on $H_0$, we find $H_0 = 73.4 \pm 0.88$ km/s/Mpc. Our results show that Planck-CMB + 2D BAO measurements form a minimal data set that solves the $H_0$ tension, and at the same time, it provides statistical evidence for the IDE cosmologies.
