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 wish Trump what he deserves.
I wish his supporters everything they voted for
The problem is, there is no way for only his supporters to feel the pain.
$50 eggs. I recognize so many citizens actually support these moves. This is a relatively harmless way to draw attention to more of these bad decisions.
By all means, let the price of eggs skyrocket. It’s the least harmless of what we collectively voted for.
the best thing for the world right now would be for america to suffer the consequences of its poor decisions. the beatings must continue until we start making better decisions.
What shape is Russia’s egg industry in?
Ovoid, I presume.
8$?! lol, wtf.
I know where cheap eggs are…
Costco.
Got 2 dozen for $8 last weekend in Colorado (where they have to be cage free chickens). Costco is a pretty good place to shop.

I’m lucky enough to live in a place with a lot of local, organic eggs. $4/dozen at my grocery store
Yeah, I never thought I’d be happy to live in an area where chickens vastly outnumber people.
I hope Canada puts a 100% tariff on eggs to the USA, get those egg prices up to $1.50 per egg.
That’s not how that works 😅
Export tariffs are a thing and Canada could implement them on eggs to make sure US shortages and price hikes don’t spread to Canada. Would that push prices to 1.50 per egg? No, but it would stop Canadian egg exports from helping US pricing at the expense of Canadian pricing.
Export duties.
Wow was I ever the wrongest person that had ever wronged. Sorry again guys, next time I’ll just keep my trap shut

No one was even mean about you being wrong, were they? I see one polite/neutral correction with backing information and some downvotes.
Downvotes are just numbers. Chill out, man, you’re good 😅
Checkmate America.
What an odd way to signify 36 eggs
It’s two cartons of eggs, each container is a dozen and a half. Eggs are normally in units of a dozen so keeping that as a consistent unit across multiple brands and styles makes sense. Costco normally indicates how many things are packaged together more than the overall total. It’s useful to know the format.
If it was on tray of 36 eggs the would have used 3 dozen and the indicator to keep it consistent with the standard unit of eggs.
Americans cant do math.
You’re telling me a 1/3lb burger is bigger than a 1/4lb??
/s
. “Twin cartons of two less a score m’lud” is what the egg valet relayed to me.
Zelensky should have brought a carton of eggs to the oval office.
That would be such a power move.
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.
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.

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.
Krasnov Trump’s foe due to threatening invasion, not US foe.
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.
Trudeau kinda is one of Trump’s foes though, isn’t he?
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.
The US is no ally of Canada. The US is currently allied with Russia and North Korea.
Trump’s foe. Canada is the US’s ally.
Trump’s America’s foe.
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
Exactly.
The entire remaining free democratic world is Trump’s foe now
More like Trump is their foe
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.
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.
Common sense is trump’s foe… anyone with a lick of it is basically a sworn enemy
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
I hope Trudeau tells him to pound sand.
