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 kinda is one of Trump's foes though, isn't he?

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

melania and trumps daughter doesnt seem to think so.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 32 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 37 points 1 week ago

Trump's foe. Canada is the US's ally.

[-] Tezzerets_Tea_Time@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

Trump's America's foe.

[-] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

Are we? Really doesn’t feel like we’re allies these days

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

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

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.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Trump is much more a foe to the US than Trudeau ever would be

[-] Shapillon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Which is why being Trump's foe ain't a bad thing.

[-] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

The entire remaining free democratic world is Trump's foe now

[-] ennof@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago

[-] Jhex@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)
