Summary

The Trump administration faces a dilemma as skyrocketing egg prices due to bird flu have forced Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins to consider emergency imports.

With eggs now averaging $8 per dozen (up from $2.25 last fall), Trump may need to request imports from countries he’s recently antagonized—particularly Canada, the largest U.S. egg importer, which Trump has threatened with tariffs and annexation.

Other potential egg suppliers (Netherlands, UK, China) have also faced Trump’s recent hostility through tariffs or threats.

Meanwhile, Turkey plans to export 420 million eggs to the U.S., but this represents less than 5% of monthly U.S. production.

    I’d say not being ruled by a babyllionaire nazi that bankrupt casinos and not having 2/3 of our population being under-educated lazy-ass losers is our main advantage over US right now.

      Education is great if you’re paid for it. We also aren’t any more productive, we have like half the investment per worked than the US.

      We also destroy the poor here via the housing crisis.
