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.
Trudeau should plan a meeting in Ottawa to sign the egg pact, then berate Trump’s ill-fitting suit and say that Canada will slap a 100% export tariff on eggs to the US unless Trump hands over Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
He won’t, because not even Trudeau is that big of an asshole.
I might just move to Canada if he does that.
Sure, we have a golden citizenship for 20 millions (CAD, makes it cheaper for you). You’ll still be an immigrant tho, so expect our conservatives to tell you your DEI if you work and a parasite if you dont.
“Canada is holding the egg cards! You’ve never once thanked Canada for our eggs!”
Out of chicks at the local farm stores too.
“JK, no eggs for Nazis!”
What if we take our remaining eggs and force feed them to trump until he explodes. I would be willing to sacrifice my eggs for that
I’m thinking how he gets his protein has something to do with how putin controls him.
I hope Trudeau tells him to pound sand.
Nah, fuck that. Let’s see eggs go to $20/dozen.
One of the oldest addages: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket
The US is facing rising egg costs because their chicken farms are absolutely massive and susceptible to disease. Ironically a larget network of small farms results in stable prices.
This is a metaphor for all of capitalism.
Well said!
Trudeau would be within his rights to tell him to suck off
Or “suck an egg” if you will.
Psalm 69
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
Why doesn’t the US just produce more eggs? Hell Trump could even strong arm the existing egg cartel and throw them in jail and nationalize egg production so that it’s more resilient (this isn’t a complicated concept, it’s only not done because it cost more money). If you are going to be a fascist, at least feed your people.
He’ll tariff the chickens, send the roosters to gitmo, and let Elon cut all funding to farming communities until they comply.
Trump Might Have to Ask Foes Like Trudeau for Emergency Eggs
Woah woah woah. Why the ever-loving fuck are they calling Trudeau a “foe”?! Are they just priming people to believe we’re enemies now so that when the inevitable invasion comes they feel justified?!
Language matters and this is yet another disgusting betrayal.
Trudeau kinda is one of Trump’s foes though, isn’t he?
The entire remaining free democratic world is Trump’s foe now
More like Trump is their foe
Trump is much more a foe to the US than Trudeau ever would be
Which is why being Trump’s foe ain’t a bad thing.
I think I’m the only one who remembers when Trudeau and Trump and Nieto signed that NAFTA agreement and Trump screwed up by signing in the wrong place and Trudeau covered for him to save him embarrassment. A very classy move that went completely unnoticed by a classless thug.
That’s what allies do.
…Ugh.
No. We’re allies and good trading partners. If Trudeau is a “foe” then it’s only because Trump is making unrealistic demands of submission or being crushed.
Trump’s foe. Canada is the US’s ally.
Trump’s America’s foe.
Exactly.
Are we? Really doesn’t feel like we’re allies these days
Trump’s voice is loud, bombastic, and belligerent, but rarely anchored in reality. There doesn’t seem to be any limits to how low he will go, but that doesn’t change realities like the worlds two largest trading partners, thousands of miles of unguarded border, a long history of cooperation and yes, friendship. Do what you have to to deal with Trumps BS and know that half the US will cheer you on and only hope you’ll give us the chance to make it up to you in four years
The US is no ally of Canada. The US is currently allied with Russia and North Korea.
Common sense is trump’s foe… anyone with a lick of it is basically a sworn enemy
melania and trumps daughter doesnt seem to think so.
but not of the US. and trump represent the US. many people consume news by inferring from headlines. and a headline like this one reads the canada is a foe of the us
Of course Trudeau is a foe to Trump. Trudeau is still part of the free world and has not succumbed to the new Russian Empire.
Not we, the Daily Beast is one overly dramatic headline away from a tabloid.
Trump might need to ask his Canadian neighbour Trudeau for emergency eggs.
Krasnov Trump’s foe due to threatening Trudeau with invasion,
Canada is not US foe.
Or we could have leftover pizza for breakfast
I dont think USA will be getting eggs because Doug Ford just threatened to cut power that we we supply to the US due to the tariffs going into effect tomorrow.
good. let those fuckers that insist on supporting this Russian asset eat in the cold dark silence.
I didn’t support him. I am almost having an aneurysm every day from the lies and deceit that happen. Its going to suck for me and my family when we get the shitty end of the stick from all of this. HOWEVER, not only do I not blame any people or reps who would stand up to the cheeto mussolini but I encourage it. The only way the people who voted him in will learn is from how much it hurts.
I fear our country has fallen and will not be able to come back from it but I still have hope from our true allies.
