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.
“Canada is holding the egg cards! You’ve never once thanked Canada for our eggs!”
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.
