The #Trump administration tried to fix the #US #EggShortage brought about by the ongoing bird flu with imports of #Turkish eggs.

The CPI egg index jumped by 5.9 percent from February and was up 60.4 percent compared to March 2024, and the average price for a dozen grade A large eggs climbed 5.6 percent to a record $6.23. #USPol #auspol #Easter #TurkishDelight 🤤

Trump doubles down on calling egg prices ‘too low’ — as costs soar to record highs

In the days leading up to Easter, President Donald Trump has repeatedly—and falsely—claimed that egg prices have plummeted to the point of being “too low,” baselessly citing steep double-digit declines—even as Americans face record-high prices at the grocery store.“The egg prices are down 87 percent...

You can't make this shit up. After threatening and belittling Denmark and the entire European Union, now the Trump regime is begging them to spare some eggs.

The United States has become the world's laughingstock. Depose King Trump. Stop the madness.

US asks Denmark: Can you spare some eggs?

The US and Denmark may be at odds over Greenland, but when it comes to solving its egg shortage, Washington is looking to Copenhagen for help.

"Hoping to help customers in the community, Rodriguez now sells three #eggs for $2.99, which he says is a better than paying at least $12 for one carton.

"If you have $20 and you want to make breakfast for two or three people, and you're already spending $12 for one item, something, how are they going to buy the bread, the milk, the butter and all that stuff?" Rodriguez said."

Bronx bodegas are selling "loosie" eggs because of soaring prices

Some bodegas in the Bronx are now selling eggs in threes as customers struggle with the soaring cost of an entire carton.

"The US Department of Agriculture (#USDA) has unveiled a new plan to combat #birdflu, the spread of which has created a severe #eggshortage and caused #eggprices to spike in the US.
The $1bn plan includes financial aid for poultry farmers as well as funding for new research for treatment and #vaccines. In the short term, the agency aims to increase egg imports to meet demand."

Sounds like an unchainsaw move.

What’s in Trump’s $1bn plan to bring egg prices down?

A dozen eggs in the US currently cost $4.95, an all-time high. Can Trumponomics bring that down?

Just saw a thread on Bluesky from @sarahtaber about how people are smuggling in eggs from Mexico now. Apparently neither Canada nor Mexico are having an egg shortage because they VACCINATE THEIR CHICKENS AGAINST BIRD FLU!
WHICH IS APPARENTLY AN OPTION IN THE US TOO, BUT COMPANIES AREN'T DOING IT BECAUSE MONEY!
🤦🏻‍♀️
They also have smaller flocks so the spread isn't as big. Something we don't have because again, money.

Current status: we're smuggling eggs in from Mexico now. So let's talk about WHY Mexico's egg industry has been stable- while US egg prices are through the roof! 1. Mexico puts people in jail for price-fixing. 2. Mexico lets farmers vaccinate their chickens against bird flu.
