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 hope they all tell america to fuck right off. start selling that shit to countries that deserve it
Why? Sell that shit at a premium. Like sell every dozen at exactly 99 cents below the average price. If the capitalist oligarchy doesn’t exploit this moment for all it’s worth what are they even good for?
if anyone can pull off highway robbery like that its canadian grocery cartels. I’m sure they’d love to get in on the price-fixing.
the united states needs to suffer lest this festering fascism fall into complete dictatorship.
the average people must suffer in order to wrest the reigns of democracy from the oligarchs hands.
Yeah so make them suffer and profit off their suffering.
It’s what America knows best
